[Intro]

Bm A Gmaj7 Bm A Gmaj7

Bm A Gmaj7

[Verse 1]

D

Staring at trophies in milk crates

G

On the floor of a northeastern garage

D

Wondering how it's all such a blessing

G

And why it's all so damn hard

[Verse 2]

D

It's the Massachusetts Turnpike

G

And when I get home, I'll creep down the hall

D

Snow in the headlights, they call it a dream

G

But the world's flat, and I'm falling off

[Chorus]

Em7 G

Hold your arms out, jump, hell, at least you tried

Em7 G

I fall short, I always fall behind

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G D

I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time

[Verse 3]

D

I never wanted to hurt you

G

But I'm elbows deep in that dirt

D

I still count every unplanted seed

G

I write down every unspoken word

[Chorus]

Em7 G

Hold your arms out, God help the justified

Em7 G

I fall short, I always fall behind

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G D

I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time

[Bridge]

Bm A

You get up for work every day, you drag yourself right out of bed

Em G

The arms of those angels are wrapped around the dreams you left

Bm A

I look the other way pretending not to notice

Em G N.C.

I don't know how it died, but I know where the ghost is

[Outro]

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G

I hate letting people down

Bm A G Bm A

I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time

G Bm A G

I'm sorry, I hate letting people down

Bm A G D

I'm sorry, I hate letting people down, and I do it all the time
