Matthew Ryan : It could have been worse
from the album Matthew Ryan Vs Sliver State (2008)
into G
Where you come from
Em
You learn to disappear
D
To cover up your fear
C
With punk rock and stuff
G
When you were a kid
Em
You listened to The Clash
D
You learned to never ask
C
Where your daddy was
Em C D
Once more around the old main drag
Em C D
They never said it but they thought you were a fag
Em C D
Some people push till a kid goes boom
Em C D
Late at night it got dark in your room
G
Ah your love in a car
Em
You promised her everything
D
Not knowing what everything
C
Really was
G
She's the first girl you kissed
Em
She's the first girl you miss
D
When you're feeling like this
C
Broke and in the dark
Em C D
Her blonde hair was a setting sun (sun) Oh
Em C D
Her mascara was born to run (run) Oh
Em C D
You got scared when she started to show (show) oH
Em C D
One more thing you'd have to let go
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
D
It could've been worse
C
It could've been worse
Em C D Em C D
G
So you stood on that bridge
Em
Overlooking old crappy town
D
Snow was falling slowly all around
C
You smoked a quick cigarette
G
But I'll never believe
Em
That you jumped and just ended there
D
The note you left read, "Look everywhere"
C
"You'll never bury me"
Em C D
A stereo and a pile of cassettes (cassettes) Oh
Em C D
That dirty mirror where you used to get dressed (Dressed) Oh
Em C D
There you stood getting tight with your scars Oh Oh
Em C D
Some broken chords on cheap guitar
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
D
It could've been worse
C
It could've been worse
G
It could've been worse
Em
It could've been worse
D
It could've been worse
C
It could've been worse
