[Verse]
                    A                              
It uh it has been a joy to play music for you again
        E                                      D                
See you tomorrow I hope we will see you in the actual world soon
                                               A       
And it's gonna be so good I think about it all the time
  A                       
I think about it every day
                A               
We're gonna see you face to face
A               
One two three go
                  E               
I broke free on a Saturday morning
                D           
I put the pedal to the floor
D                           
Headed north on Mills Avenue
             A                 
And listened to the engine roar
C#m D A E D A
       
                              E                
My broken house behind me all good things ahead
             D                          A   
A girl named Cathy wants a little of my time
                             E                        
Six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking
D                        A    
Ahh listen to the engine whine
                                   E   
I am going to make it through this year
      D       
If it kills me
A                                    E   
 I am going to make it through this year
      D       
If it kills me


[Inst]
A C#m D A E D A
        


[Verse]
                          E           
I played video games in a drunken haze
      D               A    
I was seventeen years young
                              E       
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
             D                 A          
The taste of scotch rich on my tongue yeah


[Inst]
C#m D A E D A
       


[Verse]
                                     E  
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
        D                       A               
Trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
                     E    
Locking eyes holding hands
     D                A7      
Twin high maintenance machines
              A                    E   
I am going to make it through this year
      D       
If it kills me
A                                    E   
 I am going to make it through this year
      D       
If it kills me
A         F#m                    A   
 I drove home in the California dusk
  D                      A               
I could hear the alcohol inside of me hum
             F#m                     A   
Pictured the look on my stepfather's face
D                           E   
Ready for the bad things to come
  A                                E       
I downshifted as I turned into the driveway
    D                                   A          
The motor screaming out it was stuck in second gear
                                  E      
The scene ends badly as you might imagine


[Chorus]
     D                      A   
In a cavalcade of anger and fear
                                     C#m        D              E   
There will be feasting there will be dancing in Jerusalem next year
              A                    E   
I am going to make it through this year
      D       
If it kills me
A                                                  E   
 I am going to make it gonna make it through this year
      E       
If it kills me
      D       
If it kills me
D
