Emery – I Never Got To See The West Coast chords ver. 2

Tuning: Drop C# (Drop D, half step down)

Forgive the chord names, I tried to keep it simple.

    A  G#   D#  F F2 F3  E   C#(h) C#  C    B   A#eb|---------------------------------------------------------|Bb|---------------------------------------------------------|F#|---------------------------------------------------------|C#|-10--10--5---8--7--5---5---14-------(14)-(14)------------|G#|-8---8---3---5--5--5---3---12----0---12---12---10--------|C#|-8---7---2---5--5--5---3---12----0---11---10---9---------|

A             G#        D#    So is it courage or strength
        F            F2      F3and is that what I'm waiting for?
A          G#          D#If I could just kill myself
          F    F2       F3would it also kill the remorse?
A            G#       D#I wanted so badly to catch a break
        F     F2     F3but I'm only breaking down.
A                    G#I'm still here and standing
            D#but if it's up to me
   F  F2  F3      A G#       D#I don't think I'll be hanging around

Chorus:
    EThe drink slips down my throat
        G#and the burn cures nice and slow.
        F                                  D#All the worst parts I wouldn't want you to see
                       EThe only parts left of me
Now, here I am
        C#(h)Just a kid without a better plan.
               G#                              FBut it's the simple thoughts that haunt me the most.
    D#I never got to see the west coast

A          G#               D#Spent my nights just asking why
      F        F2          F3Would God let me become like this.
A        G#             D#Was it a joke from the start?
       F            F2   F3Was I suppose to laugh more at it?
A               G#                        D#And everyone's quoting their teachers and preachers
          F           F2   F3but their words make me feel so alone.
A      G#                     D#No one ever says that they've had those thoughts
        F      F2   F3in the middle of the night.
A      G#                    D#No one ever admits that they wanted to take their life.

              C#(h)But it's the life I dreamed I'd have
     CThe love I've found in my grasp
     B                        A#The words I could share with someone.
      C#(h) Those thoughts keep the breath in my lungs
       CThat tomorrow my hope will become
    B                         A#to feel a love that can't be undone.
     A       G#        D#And save a wretch like me.
