VERSE 1
[A]I broke fr[C#m]ee on a Saturday morn[D]ing, I put the pedal[A] too the floor
Headed no[A]rth on Mills A[C#m]venue and listene[D]d to the engine ro[A]ar
[A] [C#m] [D] [A]
[A] [C#m] [D] [A]
My broken house be[A]hind me and good things [C#m]ahead,
a girl named Ca[D]thy wants a little of my t[A]ime
Six cylinders und[A]erneath the hood crashin[C#m]g and kicking
aha! li[D]sten to the engine w[A]hine
CHORUS
I am going to m[A]ake it through this y[C#m]ear if it kil[D]ls me[A]
I am going to m[A]ake it though this ye[C#m]ar if it kil[D]ls me[A]
VERSE 2
I played video games in a drunken haze,
I was seventeen years young
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes holding hands
twin high maintenance machines
CHORUS
BRIDGE
[F#m]I drove home in the California du[A]sk,
[F#m]I could feel the alcohol inside of me [A]hum
[F#m]Pictured the look on my stepfather's f[A]ace,
[D]ready for the bad things to [E]come.
VERSE 3
I down shifted as I pulled into the driveway,
the motor screaming out stuck in second gear
The scene ends badly as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year
CHORUS
