The sun and my guitar and I knew what you were doing yesterday.

You broke those promises but I'll get over it.
Am                                        G
'Cause as long as I'm breathing fresh air I don't really give a shit
C                                            F                 C
But I'll get mad for the next ten years, but realise sometimes things are great.


C                                                        F
I didn't have directions and I hadn't eaten anything all day.

We sucked a fat one and wasted a hundred dollars just to play.
Am                      F
Ate a bag of peanuts, before the windy road.
Am                                       G
And I couldn't drink a thing all night because of the vomit in my throat.
C                                         F                 C

I worked my ass of my entire life to accomplish one dream.
C                                                      G
It started happening and everything was bastardized my greed.
Am                              F
I said "pull this shit over and let me out
Am                                 G
I swear to fucking God I'm fucking giving up right now"?
C                                     F                 C
And now I've got a brand new start, I realise sometimes things are great.

Take a ball point pen and paint the inside's of your eyelids with the constant reminder:

Pick Glenn Tillbrook up from the hotel, drive him to the bar.

He wore a t-shirt just like me and wasn't on his phone
