Introduction:
Bm A
Well I could curse this neighborhood
D G
For giving me just what it should
F#m Bm
A place to set my lawyers bars
Em A
In backseats of my high friends cars
Bm A
I&rsquo m standing still, I&rsquo m thinking fast
D G
My second natures built to last
F#m Bm
I&rsquo m first in line to disappear
Em A
And rethink in about ten years
D Gm D
But I&rsquo ll wait, till it does a little harm
Gm D
To stand with open arms
Gm Em
To course correct my self respect
A D
Until I go too far
A Bm
And I&rsquo ll measure by the best
A D
And I&rsquo ll swear that I&rsquo m the worst
A G Gm
And I&rsquo ll place my bets on my only card
Bm A
So I could curse this neighborhood
D G
For letting me be what i could
F#m Bm
Please cut me down out of the roots
Em A
I planted with a good excuse
Bm A
I&rsquo m thinking slow and moving fast
D G
Like easy roads are built to last
F#m Bm
Like hypocrites need sympathy
Em A
For fighting who they&rsquo re meant to be
D Gm D
But I&rsquo ll wait, till it does a little harm
Gm D
To stand with open arms
Gm Em
To course correct my self respect
A D
Until I go too far
A Bm
And I&rsquo ll say I need the best
A D
And I&rsquo ll measure by the worst
A G Gm
And I&rsquo ll raise my debts And say it ain&rsquo t so hard
Bm A
So I could curse this neighborhood
D G
For keeping me from what it could
F#m Bm
I&rsquo m cashing in I&rsquo m moving up
Em A
I&rsquo m spending all my time and luck
Bm A
Im heading on I&rsquo m looking back
D G
Im setting up an even match
F#m Bm
I&rsquo ll stop rethinking each mistake
Em A
Nothing short of ten years late
D Gm D
But I&rsquo ll wait, till it does a little harm
Gm D
To stand with open arms
Gm Em
To course correct my self respect
A D
Until I go too far
A Bm
And I&rsquo ll try to be my best
A D
And I&rsquo ll live with all my worst
A G Gm
And I&rsquo ll get upset and thank my fate and stars
