Tom: G
Introdução:
G D
I broke free on a Saturday morning
C G
I put the pedal to the floor
G D
Headed north on Mills Avenue
C G
And listened to the engine roar
G D
My broken house behind me and good things ahead
C G
A girl named Cathy wants a little of my time
G D
Six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking
C G
Ahah, listen to the engine whine
CHORUS:
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
G D C G
VERSE:
G D
I played video games in a drunken haze
C G
I was 17 years young
G D
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
C G
The taste of scotch rich on my tongue
G D
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
C G
Trading swigs from a bottle, all bitter and clean
G D
Locking eyes, holding hands
C G
Twin high maintenance machines
CHORUS:
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
BRIDGE:
Em G
I drove home in the California dusk
Em G
I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
Em G
Pictured the look on my stepfather' s face
C D
Ready for the bad things to come
VERSE:
G D
I down-shifted as I pulled into the driveway
C G
The motor screaming out, stuck in second gear
G D
The scene ends badly, as you might imagine
C G
In a cavalcade of anger and fear
G Bm C D
There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year
CHORUS:
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
G D
I am going to make it through this year
C G
If it kills me
