Verse 1:               C# (x43121@1)                         Ab/C#    
             Breaking down never seems to be that hard.  
                        B/C# (x4444x@1)           f#/C#
             Falling short is always in the cards.
                              C# (x43121@1)                Ab/C#
             Among the road, sun rising up my back,
                      B/C# (x4444x@1)                 f#/C#
             Lost it all somewhere between the cracks.
                          Ebm (xx4342@1)                  Ab (xx1114@1)            I always hoped that I'd do better.
                                    Ebm (xx4342@1)            Ab (xx1114@1)            That I'd come out on top for once.
                       Am (x02210@1)                    Bbm (x13321@1)            We all get what we're delivered.
                              Ebm (xx4342@1)           Ab (xx1114@1)            Then there are the lucky ones.

                                  C#Chorus: (x43121@1) And I've got all that I'm allowed.  
                   C#/c   C#/a#
              It'll do for me.

              I'm thankful now.
                     C#/g#   f# (244222@1)             The walls get higher everyday.
                           Ab (xx1114@1)        C#/a#
              The barriers get in the way,
                            Eb (x43121@3)                                      C# (x43121@1)             But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,
              Ab/C#     B/C# (x4444x@1)              f# (244222@1)             Thankful.  I'm thankful, so thankful;  
                    Ebm (xx4342@1)                 B (x2444x@1)      Ab (xx1114@1)  C# (x43121@1)             I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.


Verse 2:              C# (x43121@1)                        Ab/C#
              Leaving town gets to feel just like ajob. (x02210@1) 
                        B/C# (x4444x@1)              f#/C#
              My desire never winds up on top.
                              C# (x43121@1)             Ab/C#
              I can't say now I didn't want to moon.
                             B/C# (x4444x@1)             It's out of reach:
                                    f#/C#
              Somewhere beyond this room.
                           Ebm (xx4342@1)                  Ab (xx1114@1)             I always hoped that I'd do better,
                                    Ebm (xx4342@1)             Ab (xx1114@1)             That I'd come out on top for once.
                         Am (x02210@1)                   Bbm (x13321@1)             We all get what we're delivered,
                               Ebm (xx4342@1)           Ab (xx1114@1)             Then there are the lucky ones.
