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
