The Verge

E    A  Abm    Gbm    B
B    Abm    Dbm    A   B

[Verse]
                         E         
I was backed against the traps of 
          A
my teenage plan
                Abm  Gbm    
I was stumbling over gaps and 
                  B
feeling beat up again
              A        Abm        
I was staring down the corpse of a
          Dbm
 lifelong dream
                  B     A         
But I was willing it to get back 
            B
on its feet again

[Verse]
                         E       
I was walking through my life and 
                      A
feeling sick, that’s when
               Abm    Gbm         
I would find myself repeating my 
              B
old stories to friends
                 A     Abm        
Always searching for a notion that
             Dbm
 resembled a hope
                    B      A      
That I was standing on the verge 
                          B
of something good, I don’t know

On the verge of something

[Chorus]
E          Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
A
Ohhhh
E          Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
Continues after the ad
A          B
Oh oh ohoh oh

[Bridge]
         E                   Gbm
From the traps of my teenage plan
      A                   B
I was wearing out my feet again
        E                  
Working nights for some old 
 Gbm
businessman
             A                 
Who couldn’t give a second shit 
       B
about me (I was grasping at a hope)

           E                   Gbm
I’d take a hope and a borrowed sedan
 (I couldn’t take it any more)
        A                          
And I’d ride out to the state 
  B
that’s when (Spending hours on the 
phone with the pharmacy)
                          Dbm      
I’d be pulling up to some suburban 
      Gbm
pharmacy
           A                       
And I’d be begging them to tell me 
B
something

[Verse]
                      E        
I was closing out the bar every 
           A
night and then
             Abm     Gbm          
I was waking up each morning 
    B
around 6am
              A      Abm          
I was driving to the doctor and 
        Dbm
then back again
                     B         A  
You know, they never seemed to 
                      B
have any good news to me then

[Verse]
                         E       
I was walking through my life and 
                     A
feeling sick that’s when
                   Abm   Gbm      
I started plotting out a course to
              B
 getting free again
While making pennies for some 
Abm                Dbm
psychopath businessman
                   B      A       
I started thinking that I might be
                 B
 on the verge of something

On the verge of something

[Chorus]
E          Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
         A
Ohh ohoh ohhh
E          Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
         A
Ohh ohoh ohhh
E          Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
A          B
Oh oh ohoh oh
Dbm        Gbm
Oh oh ohoh oh
        A
Oh ohoh ohhh
