Six cylinders undAerneath the hood crashingE and kicking aha! liDsten to the engine wAhine
CHORUS
I am going to mAake it through this yeEar if it killDs me A I am going to mAake it though this yeaEr if it killDs me A
VERSE 2 I played video games in a drunken haze, I was seventeen years young Hurt my knuckles punching the machines the taste of scotch rich on my tongue And then Cathy showed up and we hung out trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean locking eyes holding hands twin high maintenance machines CHORUS BRIDGE
F#mI drove home in the California duAsk, DI could feel the alcohol inside of me hAum F#mPictured the look on my stepfather's fAace, Dready for the bad things to Ecome.
VERSE 3 I down shifted as I pulled into the driveway, the motor screaming out stuck in second gear The scene ends badly as you might imagine in a cavalcade of anger and fear VERSE 3 CONT'D (this varies from the other verses) A C#m D * E * There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year CHORUS OUTRO A C#m D * A * A E D A A C#m D * A * A E D A
