A Will Away

Pay Raise

A Will Away


Tom: C

G


[Verse 1]
G
Pay raise, the status symbol that you wanted.
                  Am
But daddy's got a shotgun,
         C                          G
And he's going out to blow off some steam.

Those days, should have put me in my coffin.
                Am
But everybody's got one.
   C                           G
An opinion, if you know what I mean.


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.


[Verse 2]
G
Cheap stays, a bad decision in the making.
                    Am
Where I caught my reflection,
    C                            G
And noticed I looked half in the bag.

How strange, that we're making this connection.
                  Am
The fact you even showed up,
C                         G
Verifies the feelings you had.


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.
   Am                            C
Convinced my actions should have given me traction
       G
Long before I had to fall in the mix.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own rules,

And you think I'm full of it.


[Bridge]
G
"We're gonna see what you're made of"
G
"We're gonna see what you're made of"


[Chorus]
       Am                      C
I'm convinced if my worries present in a hurry,
     G
I'll try to keep my name off your list.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own rules
                   G
And it's making me feel sick.
   Am                            C
Convinced my actions should have given me traction
       G
Long before I had to fall in the mix.
            Am
Everybody's playing by their own rules,
