I Never Got to See the West Coast Emery
Tuning: Drop C# (Drop D, half step down)
Forgive the chord names, I tried to keep it simple.

[A] So is it c[Ab]ourage or [Eb]strength
and is t[F]hat what I'm [F2]waiting [F3]for?
[A]If I could [Ab]just kill my[Eb]self
would it a[F]lso k[F2]ill the r[F3]emorse?
[A]I wanted so b[Ab]adly to c[Eb]atch a break
but I'm [F]only b[F2]reaking[F3] down.
[A]I'm still here and st[Ab]anding
but if it's [Eb]up to me
I d[F]on'[F2]t th[F3]ink I'll[A] b[Ab]e hanging[Eb] around
Chorus:
The [E]drink slips down my throat
and the [Ab]burn cures nice and slow.
All the [F]worst parts I wouldn't want you to [Eb]see
The only parts left of [E]me
Now, here I am
C#(h)
Just a kid without a better plan.
But it's the si[Ab]mple thoughts that haunt me the [F]most.
I ne[Eb]ver got to see the west coast
[A] [C#] [A] [C#] [A] [C#] [Eb]
[A] [C#] [A] [C#] [A] [C#] [Eb]
[A]Spent my ni[Ab]ghts just asking [Eb]why
Would [F]God let m[F2]e become lik[F3]e this.
[A]Was it a [Ab]joke from the s[Eb]tart?
Was I s[F]uppose to lau[F2]gh mo[F3]re at it?
[A]And everyone's q[Ab]uoting their teachers and [Eb]preachers
but their [F]words make m[F2]e fee[F3]l so alone.
[A]No one [Ab]ever says that they've [Eb]had those thoughts
in the m[F]iddle o[F2]f the[F3] night.
[A]No one [Ab]ever admits that they [Eb]wanted to take their life.
Chrous
[A] [C#] [A] [C#] [A] [C#] [Eb]
C#(h)
But it's the life I dreamed I'd have
The l[C]ove I've found in my grasp
The w[B]ords I could share with s[Bb]omeone.
C#(h)
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
That to[C]morrow my hope will become
to f[B]eel a love that can't be u[Bb]ndone.
And s[A]ave a wr[Ab]etch like [Eb]me.
Chorus
