[G][Bm][C][Bm][G]
[G][D][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I broke [G]free on a Saturday [D]morning
I put the [C]pedal to the [G]floor
Headed [G]north on Mills [D]Avenue
And listened [C]to the engine [G]roar

[Interlude 1]
[G][Bm][C][Bm][G]
[G][D][C][D][G]

[Verse 2]
My bro[G]ken house behind me
and [D]good things ahead
A girl named [C]Cathy wants a little of my [G]time
Six [G]cylinders underneath the [D]hood
crashing and kicking
[C]Aha! Listen to the engine [G]whine

[Chorus 1]
I am gonna [G]make it through this [D]year
if it [C]kills [D]me[G]
I am gonna [G]make it through this [D]year
if it [C]kills [D]me[G]

[Interlude 2]
[G][Bm][C][Bm][G]
[G][D][C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
I played [G]video games in a [D]drunken haze
I was [C]seventeen years [G]young
Hurt my [G]knuckles punching the ma[D]chines
The taste of [C]Scotch rich on my [G]tongue

[Interlude 3]
[G][Bm][C][Bm][G]
[G][D][C][D][G]

[Verse 4]
And then [G]Cathy showed up and we hung [D]out
Trading [C]swigs from a bottle all
[G]bitter and clean
Locking [G]eyes, holding [D]hands
Twin high [C]maintenance ma[G]chines

[Chorus 2]
I am gonna [G]make it
through this [D]year if it [C]kills [D]me[G]
I am gonna [G]make it
through this [D]year if it [C]kills [D]me[G]

[Bridge 1]
I drove [Em]home in the California [G]dusk
I could [C]feel the alcohol [G]inside of me hum
Pictured the [Em]look on my stepfather's [G]face
[C]Ready for the bad things to [D]come

[Verse 5]
I downshift[G]ed as I pulled into the [D]driveway
The motor [C]screaming out stuck [G]in
second gear
The scene ends [G]badly
as you might [D]imagine
In a [C]cavalcade of anger and [G]fear
There will be [G]feasting and [Bm]dancing
in [C]Jerusalem next [D]year

[Chorus 3]
I am gonna [G]make it
through this [D]year if it [C]kills [D]me[G]
I am gonna [G]make it
through this [D]year if it [C]kills [D]me[G]

[Outro 1]
