I Never Got to See the West Coast Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]So is it cou[D]rage or str[A]ength
And is [Em]that what [G]I'm waiting [Em]for?[G]
If I could [D]just kill my[A]self
Would it [Em]also kill the re[G]morse?
I wanted [D]so badly to [A]catch a break
But I'm [Em]only [G]breaking down
I'm still here [D]and standing
But if it's [A]up to me
I [Em]don't [A]think [Em]I'll[G] be
[D]han[A]ging around

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]The drink slips down my throat
And [F#m]the burn cures nice and slow
All the [Em]worst parts I wouldn't
want you [A]to see
The only parts left of [D]me
Now, here I am
Just [Bm]a kid without a better plan
But [G]it's the simple thoughts
that haunt me [Em]the most
I [A]never got to see the west [G]coast[Bm]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][A][G][Bm][G][Bm][A]
[G]

[Verse 3]
Spent my [D]nights just asking [A]why
Would [Em]God let me become like t[G]his
Was it a [D]joke from the [A]start?
Was I sup[Em]pose to laugh more at [G]it?
And everyone's [D]quoting
their teachers and [A]preachers
But their word[Em]s make
me feel so [G]alone
No one [D]ever says that they've
[A]had those thoughts
In the [Em]middle of [G]the night
No one [D]ever admits that [F#m]they
[A]waited to take their life

[Verse 4]
The [D]drink slips down my throat
And the [F#m]burn cures nice and slow
All the [Em]worst parts I wouldn't
want you [A]to see
The only parts left of [D]me
Now, here I am
Just [Bm]a kid without a better plan
But it's [G]the simple thoughts that
haunt me [Em]the most
I nev[A]er got to see the west [G]coast
[Bm][G][Bm][G][Bm][A]

[Verse 5]
But it's [Bm]the life I dreamed I have
The [F#aug]love I've found in my grasp
[D]The words I could share
with [E]someone
Those [Bm]thoughts keep the breath
in my lungs
[F#aug]That tomorrow my hope will become
[D]To feel a love that can't be un[E]done
And [G]save a [D]wretch [A]like me

[Verse 6]
So if the [D]drink slips down your throat
And the [F#m]burn cures nice and slow
All the [Em]worst parts you wouldn't
want me [A]to see
The same parts, I have in [D]me
Now, scares me [Bm]to thinking this way
I feel just like you [G]do
But when you're by yourself
you should [Em]know
One [A]day we got to see the west
[G]coast[Bm]

[Outro 1]
