that never [A]comes
In [Bm]some ways it’s the

[Verse 2]
[D]same,
but tonight the crowd [Bm]they came

cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how [D]long’s it been [Bm]since you been out

[A]your eyes
‘Cause I've been to the line,

And I cannot wait to get [A]on from [D]here

[Verse 4]
Arms bent back and [G]black jack [D]welt
Involuntary tears and the [G]tears we [D]felt
[G]Does it always have to get worse

Fists in [A]the air, candles and vigils,
cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes

How long’s it been since you [Bm]open
your [A]eyes
‘Cause I've been to the line,
and it’s all [D]right [G]there
And I cannot wait to get [A]on from [D]here
