Emery
I Never Got to See the West Coast
Asus2 E B
So is it courage or strength
F5
and is that what I'm waiting for?
Asus2 E B
If I could just kill myself
F5
would it also kill the remorse?
Asus2 E B
I wanted so badly to catch a break
F5
but I'm only breaking down.
Asus2 E
I'm still here and standing
B
but if it's up to me
F5 Asus2 E B
I don't think I'll be hanging around
Chorus
E
The drink slips down my throat
G#m
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F5 B
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
E
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
C#m
Just a kid without a better plan.
Asus2 F5
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
B
I never got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B
Asus2 E B
Spent my nights just asking why
F5
Would God let me become like this.
Asus2 E B
Was it a joke from the start?
F5
Was I supposed to laugh more at it?
Asus2 E B
And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
F5
but their words make me feel so alone.
Asus2 E~ B~
No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
F5
in the middle of the night.
Asus2~ E~ B~
No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.
Chorus
E
The drink slips down my throat
G#m
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F5 B
All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
E
The only parts left of me
Now, here I am
C#m
Just a kid without a better plan.
Asus2 F5
But it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
B
I never got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B
C#m
But it's the life I dreamed I have
C
The love I find in my grasp
B F5
The words I could share with someone.
C#m
Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
C
That tomorrow my hope will become
B F5
fulfilled by a love that can't be undone.
Asus2 E B
And save a wretch like me.
Chorus
E
So if the drink slips down your throat
G#m
and the burn cures nice and slow.
F5 B
All the worst parts you wouldn't want me to see.
E
The same parts, I have in me
C#m
Now, scares me too we are both this way.
Asus2
I feel just like you do.
B
But when you're by yourself you should know
One day we got to see the west coast.
Asus2, E, Asus2, E, B, End on Asus2
