Verse

    Bm
You harbor resentment
               C#m       Bm        A
You know there ain’t too much of a thrill

You wish for contentment
               C#m            D        A
But you got an emptiness that can’t be filled

You’ve had enough of hatred

Your bones are breaking, can’t find nothing sacred

Everything you’ve gotten

You’ve gotten by sweat, blood and muscle
     Bm
From early in the morning
              C#m          D          A
’Til way past dark all you ever do is hustle

All your loved ones have walked out the door

You’re not even sure ’bout your wife and kids no more, but

Deep down inside

You know you need a whole new beginning

Don’t have to go to Russia or Iran

When all you’re ever thinking of is tomorrow
