All the drugs are all gone now
Em
And all your friends are gone, too
Am
And now you face the day alone
G
With no-one to blame but you
C
And you might say "How did I get here?"
Em
"They said I had so much potential..."
Am
Out here in the cold
Am G
Where the rain and the snow always come torrential

Whoa-oh-ah-oh

C
You're a far cry from sixteen
Em
On the back of some delinquent's motorbike
Am
You said your town was too small
G
For a girl to be whoever she likes
C
So you came here to the city
Em
With its Midwestern offerings of culture
Am
And when the vices found you
Am
On the walk home from school
G
They descended like vultures
C
Now whoa-oh-ah-oh
E F
You're calling out to the sky

Some day I'll be digging your grave

C
All you learned here was pity
Em
All you ever knew how to do was drink
Am
But in the back of a police car

You might say "How did I get here?"
Em
"They said I had so much potential"

We'd rise above it all
