    Everybody Breaks A Glas...

Am                       Em    Am
It's not a solid, not a soft thing
Am                          Em      Am
To pull the wool up like a smokescreen
Am                     G  Am 
Nobody does it like a prophet
Am                           G     Am
It's gone before you know you lost it
Am                               Em   Am
There are reasons you keep your hands tied
Am                                  Em     Am  
There's certain things you shouldn't have tried
Am                      G      Am
So if you gotta tell me something
Am                      G    Am
You better go from the beginning

F     G             Am 
  We all forget to sleep
  C                 F
And crash at someone's feet
G          Am       C
Everybody skips a beat
F    G             Am
  We let the chances pass
   C              F
The few we held so fast
G           Am       C 
Everybody breaks a glass

Am                          Em  Am  
And here I'm standing in the middle
Am                      Em    Am
Not just a little but a hill full
Am                    G     Am
Wondering how I got a head cold
Am                       G   Am  
Wishing I didn't know what I know
Am                       Em  Am
It's never been about the money
Am                       Em   Am 
We're worthy or we are not worthy
Am                     G     Am  
However much you got on your plate
Am                       G   Am 
You're as good as you reciprocate

F   G            Am     
We all pretend to keep
C                    F
Our tongue out of our cheek
G               Am       C
Everyone's the fool they seek
F    G              Am
  We all go off the track
   C                F   
And feel for our way back
G          Am       C
Everybody breaks a glass
F   G         Am       F
   Everybody breaks a glass

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am          Em    Am

Am
Shook

Scared to look

At peers when they peer back
Em      Am
  It's weird how we fear that

It's weird how we wear a mask
    Em                          Am       
It appears when we fear our own tears more than tear gas

My team's struggling in years past
G              Am
Looking to draft beer to bring cheers back

But then the drinking game's finished
                      G   
No Guinness, just a clear glass
            Am 
Seeing our real image mirrored back
                                   Em
The places that we to cope, it's so strange
                 Am
When we?re older folks it don?t change

Trying to hang, we don?t know the ropes
                   Em                         Am
When we fall we got more than our shoulders broke
    
It's no game

That's why we overdose on cocaine
G                     Am
Get our brains comatose, there's no blame

If you've ever known shame, known pain
      G                               Am
Known days when we really don't feel okay


F     G               Am
  Somewhere perfection lies
C                   F 
But not for you and I
G          Am       C
Everybody trips sometime
F      G                Am 
  When cities fall like shacks
C                F
Walls eventually crack
G          Am      F 
Everybody breaks a glass
