[Verse 1]
me at the [F]tender age of [C]five[G]
[G5]Son,[Gm] you'r[Bb]e gonna be the
[F]saddest man [C]alive[G]
And [Gm]I've [Bb]been raging, bleeding
[F]Hatred running [C]through my veins
[G]With fin[Dm]gers c[Bb]rossed been
breeding [F]pain along [C]the way

[Verse 2]
And now here I [G]roam
On my [F]way there on this rock[C]y road
Still three feet to [G]go
[F]Down this cold and [C]barren hole
[Eb]How have I made this far?[Bb][Am][A]

And [Am]though it [Bb]all went wrong
At the [F]halfway bar I raise my glass
An[C]d flush the past away

me at the

[Gm]Son, in your[Bb] soul lies a cancer
that'll [F]eat you [C]alive[G]
And [Dm]there at [Bb]the end of a rainbow
was [F]shining bucket a [C]dirt[G]
[Gm]I tried but [Bb]was unable to sh[F]ove
it down to taste its [C]worth

[Verse 5]
And now here I [G]am
On my [F]way there on this rock[C]y road
Now I [G]understand
[F]I can't give in, I can[C]'t let [Eb]go
Glad I've made this [Am]far[A]

[Verse 6]
[Gm]Road [G]goes on
And [Am]though it [Bb]all went wrong
At the [F]halfway bar I raise my glass
An[C]d flush the past away
[Bb]Though I [Eb]sing along
With the [Gm]same old [Am]song
[C]For as [F]long as there's a pulse, a beating
[C]I'll make it through the day
Make it through the [Bb]day yeah

With the [Gm]same old song
