(Intro.)
|(D) / / / | x 8
(Verse 1)
(D) I can’t complain, but (A)I still do
(Bm) I'm always looking, but I'm (G)missing the view
(D)In my head it's better and it’s (A)greener too
(Bm) I’m chasing greener ‘til it's (G)turned me blue
(Pre-Chorus)
(D) Watch while I go down this (A)self imposed long long (D)road
(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s (Bm) one step (F#m)forward, (G) two steps (D)back
(Bm) Uphill (F#m)battle, (G)slipping right through the (D)cracks
(Bm) Late ar-(F#m)rival, (G) missed your (D)train
(Bm) Sitting on your (F#m)suitcase, (G) in the pouring (D)rain
(Bm) I need a dollar but I (F#m)got a dime
(G) I need a minute but I'm (A)out of time - - -
(Verse 2)
(D) I ain’t working but it (A)ain't all bad
(Bm) Try to be thankful for the (G)time that I’ve had
(D) Spent with my boys and their (A)momma too
(Bm) Try to enjoy it but it's (G)hard to do
(Pre-Chorus)
(D) Watch while I go down this (A)self imposed long long (D)road
(Chorus)
‘Cause it’s (Bm) one step (F#m)forward, (G) two steps (D)back
(Bm) Uphill (F#m)battle, (G)slipping right through the (D)cracks
(Bm) Late ar-(F#m)rival, (G) missed your (D)train
(Bm) Sitting on your (F#m)suitcase, (G) in the pouring (D)rain
(Bm) I need a dollar but I (F#m)got a dime
(G) I need a minute but I'm (A)out of time
(Pre-Chorus)
(D) Watch while I go down this (A)self imposed long long (D)road
(Bridge)
(Bm) I can’t (A)seem to keep my (G)head on straight (D)
(Bm) The door is (A)closing and it's (G)getting late (D)
(Bm) This little (A)pill is a (G)hard one to take (D)
And I've (Em)certainly been taking my time (A)
