Tom: D
D Em G
[Verse 1]
D
Well, all I hear is, "Patience"
All I have are missed bank payments
Em G D
I can't keep my head above the nonsense
This ain't gonna make me famous
But I can't eat off this paycheck
Em G
My dreams are quick-drying cement
D
Slipping thought the tips of my fingers
Fill my pockets
Em G
Cannonball into the black when I hear you say
[Chorus]
D Em G
"It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (And I hope you're right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (Have you seen me lately?)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever" (Yeah right)
[Verse 2]
D
It's like I'm falling deeper and deeper
Em
Thinking someday I just need a miracle
G D
Need about 30 goddamn miracles
Well you say, "Be your own god"
Em
You say, "You're sane, so get yourself right
G
So we can start again"
D
I'm so preoccupied with my own life
Em
I can't see the world is burning down
G
Until we're living under water
[Chorus]
D Em G
"It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (And I hope you're right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (Have you seen me lately?)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever" (Yeah right)
Bm G D Em
[Bridge]
Bm
G D
And I'm stuck here pulling out threads
Em Bm
But this won't move in reverse
G D
And I'll die here in the Midwest
Em
Why can't I live with that?
[Chorus]
D Em G
"It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (And I hope you're right)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever (Have you seen me lately?)
D Em G
It won't be this bleak forever" (Yeah right)
[Outro]
D Em G
It can't be this bleak forever
D Em G
It can't be this bleak forever
D Em
It can't be this bleak forever
G
Have you seen me lately?
D Em
It can't be this bleak forever
G
