VERSE 1
A C#m D A
I broke free on a Saturday morning, I put the pedal too the floor
A C#m D A
Headed north on Mills Avenue and listened to the engine roar
A C#m D A
A C#m D A
A C#m
My broken house behind me and good things ahead,
D A
a girl named Cathy wants a little of my time
A C#m
Six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking
D A
aha! listen to the engine whine
CHORUS
A C#m D A
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
A C#m D A
I am going to make it though this year if it kills me
VERSE 2
I played video games in a drunken haze,
I was seventeen years young
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes holding hands
twin high maintenance machines
CHORUS
BRIDGE
F#m A
I drove home in the California dusk,
F#m A
I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
F#m A
Pictured the look on my stepfather's face,
D E
ready for the bad things to come.
VERSE 3
I down shifted as I pulled into the driveway,
the motor screaming out stuck in second gear
The scene ends badly as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year
CHORUS
