Rust Right Through

G D Em C G D G

G
There’s an old yellow house sitting on my dash
     Em
In a picture I took, sunlight for a flash
    F
The whole family out front
                       D
‘Cause that’s what you do

           G
Sitting on concrete steps I grew up climbing
Em
I take ‘em two at a time now
F
But I still reach for the rail
                       D
‘Cause that’s what you do

          C                      D
There’s a comfort in keeping and keeping to a path
Em                    C
Doing what I know and knowing what I have
C                             D
The safety of a rail gives my hands something to do
        G        D             Em         C
But one day this rail is gonna rust right through
    G              D          G
One day it’s gonna rust right through

G
There are places to go and milestones to meet
     Em
Emach one that I reach says something about me
     F
It’s what they want to hear
                     D
‘Cause that’s what I do

G
I’ve kept my head down, kept my mouth shut
Em
Anything to keep me from screwing up
        F
Holding on to their version of me
                     D
‘Cause that’s what I do

          C                      D
There’s a comfort in keeping and keeping to a path
Em                    C
Doing what I know and knowing what I have
C                             D
The safety of a rail gives my hands something to do
        G        D             Em         C
But one day this rail is gonna rust right through
    G              D          G
One day it’s gonna rust right through

G
Middle of this highway, same old drive
   Em
In what might be, the middle of my life
    F
I’m where I am supposed to be
                 D
That’s what they say

        G
When I doubt that what I have to say could ever count for much
       Em
Giving in to what I really need feels like giving up
        F
But I’m done giving up on myself
                        D
Holding on to what they say

          C                      D
There’s a comfort in keeping and keeping to a path
Em                    C
Doing what I know and knowing what I have
C                             D
The safety of a rail gives my hands something to do

But one day this rail is gonna rust right through
    G              D          G
One day it’s gonna rust right through

    G        D             Em         C
One day this rail is gonna rust right through
