Tom: G
G
And I've tried all the different angles
D
I've tried every fucking frame
Em
Still this shitshow somehow manages
C
To always look the same
G
And I've tried burning all the bridges
D
I brought fire to the flame
Em
And I'd burn every goddamn memory
C
To illuminate this place
G D
Cause it's too dark for me to shine
Em D C
It's always darkest before tonight
[Refrain]
G D
Thought I was home when I was not
Em C
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then when he sang 'bout growing up
G D
I thought the best was yet to come
Em C
And I've been waiting for so long that I grew old instead of up
G D
And it's been thirty years right now
Em D C
I can't believe how wrong this sounds
[Verse]
G
And I've tried all the different tactics
D
I have caught myself off guard
Em
I made peace with all my enemies
C
And reached out to those I love
G
For so long I fought a battle
D
That I forgot the reason why
Em
Can't remember what it used to be
C
But the fire looks quite nice
G D
Cause it's too dark for me to shine
Em D C
It's always darkest before tonight
[Refrain]
G D
Thought I was home when I was not
Em C
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then when he sang 'bout growing up
G D
I thought the best was yet to come
Em C
And I've been waiting for so long that I grew old instead of up
G D
And it's been thirty years right now
Em D C
I can't believe how wrong this sounds
G D
Is it over now
Em D C
Is it over now
[Outro]
Em D
Thought I was home when I was not
Em
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then
C
When he sang 'bout growing up
Em D
I thought the best was yet to come
Em
And I've been waiting for so long
C
That I grew old instead of up
Em
It's over now
