C#m D A E
D A
[Verse 1]
I broke Afree on a Saturday morEning
I put the Dpedal to the floor A
Headed north on Mills Avenue
E And listened Dto the engine roar A
C#m D A E D A
[Verse 2]
My broAken house behind me and goodE things ahead
A girl named DCathy wants a little of my time A
Six cylinders underneath the hoodE crashing and kicking
AhaDha! Listen to the engine Awhine
[Chorus]
I am gonna maAke it through this yearE if it killsD me
A I am gonna make it through this yearE if it killsD me
A C#m D A E
D A
[Verse 3]
I played Avideo games in a drunEken haze
I was Dseventeen years young A
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines E
The taste of DScotch rich on my Atongue
C#m D A E D A
[Verse 4]
And then ACathy showed up and we hung Eout
Trading swigsD from a bottle all Abitter and clean
Locking eyes, holding Ehands
Twin highDmaintenance machines A
[Chorus]
I am gonna maAke it through this yearE if it killsD me
A I am gonna make it through this yearE if it killsD me
[Bridge]
A I drove hoF#mme in the California dusk A
I Dcould feel the alcohol inside Aof me hum
Pictured the lookF#m on my stepfather's face A
ReaDdy for the bad things to Ecome
[Verse 5]
I downshifAted as I pulled into the driveEway
The moDtor screaming out, stuck inA second gear
The scene ends badly, as you might imaEgine
In a caDvalcade of anger and Afear
There will be feasAting and danC#mcing in JeDrusalem next year E
[Chorus]
I am gonna maAke it through this yearE if it killsD me
A I am gonna makeA it through this yearE if it killsD me A
