Emery - I Never Got To See The West Coast

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
