Mt Hope

INTRO e|--------------------------| B|----12---10----13----12---| G|-12----12---12----12------| D|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| E|--------------------------| I packed my car and headed west With my guitar and some things to get off of my chest And lately the weather can't get me down anymore I just close the door and pretend I'm not a mess And me and Matt, we just talked in the driveway About how everyone just likes to stay inside And listen to songs that make them feel nostalgic But I won't let those dumb songs ruin my night And Duncan broke down as it was getting late And the night was great, but it can always be better We won eight hundred bucks playing dice that day And we picked him up down by one-twenty-eight And it felt like we talked all night And we watched bad movies, but some were alright And I felt more at peace than I have in a while Sometimes I think the best nights are only spent with best friends Sometimes I'd like to be alone. I guess it gets depressing As these days stack up, as these nights fly by, it's good enough. It's good enough We're all passing out for about an hour To give the world a chance to get its shit together Hiding out here in the shower Cause it's safe and secure and I can't get hurt no more And in light of all these dark, dark days Sometimes I come down here to give me space And when we're together, I feel stronger That's why memories can't go away And we sat down under that playground under the bridge and as I looked up, these words, they came together finally And I saw the sign that takes me home And that parking lot still stands and we laugh I can't remember all the crazy nights We all the missed the times that made us get here It's funny cause I'm not sure we arrived And when we fall down, we get back up It's what I've learned when I feel alone And the songs that made us lose our voices Those songs can take us home There's a piece of you in every song I sing Not to mention my intentions when they get the best of me There's a place I go when I can't find the strength break myself away, but I'm getting better every day, and if I survived, then you can too
