Five Year Plan

C Am C Am C Am F G C Don't you put out a casket Am You ain't dying today C But take the rings off your fingers Am If you take the south train C Don't burn the matches Am You'll want to stay alive F G It's real cold where you're going C Am And it's freezing on the pavement as I'm weaving through the streets C Am I've been long since out of high school so I got nowhere to be C Am I could never handle college so I grind my knuckles down F G I got to make these six strings sing babe C G Well it's a long dark road and there are landmines that explode Am F Under many of the steps that you take C G But who am I to sit here, blessed but distressed Am F I should be screaming out baby I'm alive C G 'cause I've come this far and I've got this many scars Am F So I cannot stop trying now C G F No, I can't, I cannot stop trying now C So put your foot to the pedal Am You're lagging behind C Jumped straight off the short pier Am And never saw a line C And everything's a deadline Am When you're trying to find some sleep F G What I wouldn't give to close my eyes C And it's cold in the windows Am So you move to the doors C And you live off the ceiling Am When you're bored of the floors C And you passed off the problem Am To get some cash to put down F G Well I hope the money comes in someday C G Well it's a long dark road and there are landmines that explode Am F Under many of the steps that you take C G But who am I to sit here, blessed but distressed Am F I should be screaming out baby I'm alive C G 'cause I've come this far and I've got this many scars Am F So I cannot stop trying now C G F No, I can't, I can't stop now C G Am F (3x) C G F C G And it's a long dark road and there are landmines that explode Am F Under many of the steps that you take C G But who am I to sit here, blessed but distressed Am F I should be screaming out baby I'm alive C G 'Cause I've come this far and I've got this many scars Am F So I cannot stop trying now C G F C No, I can't, I can't, no, no....
