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

                 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.
              Ab     C#/a#
       The barriers get in the way,
              Eb                    C#
       But I see hope in every cloud, and I'm thankful,
       Ab/C#   B/C#        f#
       Thankful. I'm thankful, so thankful;
          Ebm          B    Ab  C#
       I'm thankful I've got all that I'm allowed.


Verse 2:       C#             Ab/C#
       Leaving town gets to feel just like a job.
            B/C#        f#/C#
       My desire never winds up on top.
               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.
              Ebm          Ab
       I always hoped that I'd do better,
                  Ebm        Ab
       That I'd come out on top for once.
             Am           Bbm
       We all get what we're delivered,
                Ebm       Ab
       Then there are the lucky ones.


-Repeat chorus-


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