[Verso 1]
F
Rolling down the avenue
Bb Gm
Its dark and my headlights are through
C Bb
My life flashes before my eyes
F
But somehow I arrive
F
Maybe Ill just wait till sunrise
Bb Gm
Drive home with my sunken eyes wide
C Bb
Try so hard I flip the car
F
And wake up in a gurney
F
Tell my momma that I love her
Bb Gm
See you dad above the thunder
C Bb
Let this be a lesson children
F
Nothing lasts forever
A Bb
Sometimes I forget that nothing matters
F
Every pitter every patter
Let it fill me up with laughter
A
Send me crying up the ladder
Getting higher
Bb
Getting higher in the sky
F
Until I tumble to the ocean
Sink so low I touch the bottom
F
Its creeping up inside of me
Bb Gm
The panic at a fallen leaf
C
I dont remember
Bb
What is tender
F
[Verso 2]

Is this just what it means

To be a part of the machine
C Bb
Its not so nice to be so mean
F
The sky was blue but now its green
A Bb
Sometimes I forget that nothing matters
F
Every pitter every patter
Let it fill me up with laughter

Send me crying up the ladder
Getting higher

Getting higher in the sky
Until I tumble to the ocean
C
Sink so low I touch the bottom
