[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][D][G][C][D][G][C][Em]
[G]I'm standing in Brooklyn just

[Verse 1]
[C]
waiting for [D]something to [G]happen[C]
[D]I can[G]'t help but love thinking tha[C]t
[Em]every[D]one doesn't [G]get [C]it[Em]
[G]To my left there's a window
Where did [C]I g[D]o?
My re[G]flection just planted
two rows of [D]coal
And [G]bad ideas, but ideas [Em]nonetheless, and [G]so

[Verse 2]
I [G]put one foot in [C]front of [D]the other one,
[G]oh oh oh
[C]I don't need a [D]new love [G]or a new
life just a [D]better place to [G]die[C][Em]
[D]I p[G]ut one foot in f[C]ront of the o[D]ther o[C]ne,
[G]oh oh oh
[C]I don't need a [D]new love [G]or a new life
just a [D]better place to [G]die
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[D]I hap[G]pened to stumble upo[C]n
[Em]a ch[D]apel las[G]t ni[C]ght
[D]And I can[G]'t help but back up when
I think of what [D]happens [G]in [C]side
[G]I got friends locked in boxes,
[C]that's no [Em]way to l[C]ive
[D]What [G]you're callin' a sin
isn't up [C]to [D]them
After [G]all, (after all) I thought
[C]we were [D]all your [G]children,[C]
[D]But I will [G]die for my own
sins thank[C]s a l[D]ot
We'll [G]rise up ourselves
thanks for noth[C]ing at all,
[D]So [G]up off the ground up our fore
[C]fathers are [D]nothing but [G]dust [C]now
[G]I

[Verse 4]
put one foot in [C]front of [D]the other one,
[G]oh oh oh
[C]I don't need a [D]new love [G]or a new
life just a [C]better [D]place to [G]die[C][Em]
[D]I p[G]ut one foot in f[C]ront of the o[D]ther o[G]ne,
oh oh oh
[C]I don't need a [D]new love [G]or a new
life just a [D]better place to [G]die[C]
[G]Maybe

[Verse 5]
I should learn to shut my [Em]mouth
I am over twenty-five [C]an d and I can't make a [G]name
for myself some [C]nights I break down and [D]cry
[G]I'm lucky that my father's still [Bm]alive
[Em]he's been fighting all his l[C]ife
And if this is all [G]I've ever known then may his [C]soul live on [D]forever in my
[G]song

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][G][C][D][G][C][D][G][C][G]
[Cm][Gaug][Cm][Gaug]
[G]I put one

[Verse 6]
foot in [C]front of [D]the other [G]one,
oh oh oh
[C]I don't need a [D]new love [G]or a new
life just a better [D]place to [G]die[C]
[D]I p[G]ut one foot in f[C]ront of the o[D]ther o[G]ne,
oh oh oh
I don't [D]need a new love [G]or a new life
[C]just a [G]better [D]place to [G]die[C][Bm]

[Verse 7]
In [Em]front [C]of [D]the other [C]one[Bm]
In front [C]of [D]the other [Bm]one
Just a better [D]place to [G]die
