Intro:    C#C#  (c a# g# f# d# c)    B/C#  (a# g# f# C#C# d# g#)
        C#C#  (c a# g# f# d# c)    B/C#  (a# g# f# C#C# d# g#)


Verse 1:        C#C#              Ab/C#
       Breaking down never seems to be that hard.
            B/C#       f#/C#
       Falling short is always in the cards.
               C#C#         Ab/C#
       Among the road, sun rising up my back,
           B/C#          f#/C#
       Lost it all somewhere between the cracks.
             EbmEbm          AbAb
       I always hoped that I'd do better.
                  EbmEbm       AbAb
       That I'd come out on top for once.
            A minorAm           BbmBbm
       We all get what we're delivered.
               EbmEbm       AbAb
       Then there are the lucky ones.

                 C#C#
Chorus: And I've got all that I'm allowed.
          C#/c  C#/a#
       It'll do for me.

       I'm thankful now.
           C#/g#  f#
       The walls get higher everyday.
              AbAb     C#/a#
       The barriers get in the way,
              Eb MajorEb                    C#C#
       But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,
       Ab/C#   B/C#        f#
       Thankful. I'm thankful, so thankful;
          EbmEbm          BB    AbAb  C#C#
       I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.


Verse 2:       C#C#             Ab/C#
       Leaving town gets to feel just like a job.
            B/C#        f#/C#
       My desire never winds up on top.
               C#C#        Ab/C#
       I can't say now I didn't want to moon.
               B/C#
       It's out of reach:
                  f#/C#
       Somewhere beyond this room.
              EbmEbm          AbAb
       I always hoped that I'd do better,
                  EbmEbm        AbAb
       That I'd come out on top for once.
             A minorAm           BbmBbm
       We all get what we're delivered,
                EbmEbm       AbAb
       Then there are the lucky ones.

-Repeat chorus-


Bridge:          BB              f#
      I've always tried to make things clear.
            A augmentedA        E MajorE      f#
      Then I watched as progress stalled.
           BB             f#
      I only hope I'm standing here
            f#/F EbmEbm         AbAb
      When heaven finally comes to call.
