Finish Line

G C G C

[Verse 1]
G                              
I don't care about things 'cause 
             C          G
they don't care about me
N.C.                               C
          G
My skin's a lot thicker than you'd 
think it'd be
            Em              C      
And I don't need nothing to tie me 
G
down
        Em                         
I don't need no one to care should 
C       G
I leave town


[Verse 2]
G                             
I saw the way they looked and I 
  C          G
heard them laugh
N.C.                               C
         G
They couldn't wait to talk until I 
turned my back
             Em                   
Well I won't be that bitter taste 
C        G
in their mouths
            Em                     
So I ain't never going back to your
 C        G
 family's house

Em     C                G
Waking up for the first time
            Em                   
Is when you don't stop running at 
     C      G
the finish line


[Verse 3]
G                        C        
Some things in life they stay the 
G
same
N.C.                                
 C          G
And they are usually the things we'd
 wish would change
           Em                     
So I won't search for strength in 
C       G
someone else
            Em              C
Cause I can pat my own back by 
     G
myself


[Chorus]
Em     C                G
Waking up for the first time
            Em                   
Is when you don't stop running at 
     C      G    F# Em
the finish line
E      C                G
Waking up for the first time
            Em                   
Is when you don't stop running at 
     C      G
the finish line

[Verse 4]
G                                 
I won't worry about the roof that 
C             G
ain't over my head
N.C.                                
  C         G
Hell I'd rather sleep out under 
these stars instead
            Em                
And all the money in the world 
          C      G
couldn't buy me back
        Em                 C      
Ah, the Lord knows I'm too proud 
   G
for that


[Chorus]
Em     C                G
Waking up for the first time
           Em                    
Is when you don't stop running at 
    C      G    F# Em
the finish line
Em     C                G
Waking up for the first time
            Em                   
Is when you don't stop running at 
     C      G
the finish line
