Local Man Ruins Everything The Wonder Years
Half Step Down
Intro: C# B E A C# B E
[A]The fountain was off.
[B]This is the first time I?ve been back to the cit[E]y in months.
[A]I?m trying to hold it toge[B]ther but irony?s found cracks i[E]n the foundation.
A[A]nd you know, [B]
[E]I try so hard to be some great white hope
[A]But I can[B]?t shake the[E] feeling that [C#]tonight I?m [B]gonna end up shak[E]ing in bed alone.
Same as intro
I?m not a self-help book; I?m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now I?m waiting for it to sink in.
Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
It?s not about forcing happiness;
It?s about not letting the sadness win.
I don?t have roses in the closet
But I?ve got pictures in a drawer
It?s everything left in me
Not to stare at them anymore.
I walked upstairs and shaved my beard.
I felt like I was holding sadness here
(I was holding sadness here)
Bridge C# B C# B Ab/B
Repeat
I?m not a self-help book; I?m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
Now I?m waiting for it to sink in.
Expect me standing tall, back against the wall,
'Cause what I learned was
It?s not about forcing happiness;
It?s about not letting the sadness win.
I don?t have roses in the closet
But I?ve got pictures in a drawer
It?s everything left in me
Not to stare at them anymore.
I?m not a self-help book; I?m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
I?m not a self-help book; I?m just a fucked up kid.
I had to take my own advice and I did.
