Intro: G C G D (2x)  
 
verse 1: 
G                  C       G               D            G 
 Stumble through a hallway, staying up for three days 
             C        Am         D             G 
Sitting in a walkway, parking in driveways you can't 
           C      G                 D                   G 
Focus is a virtue, know what you're allured to  
            C         Am        D              Em 
Everyday is progress, every day feels just the same 
 
 
 
Em          G                C      Am     
She looked around, how did I get here?  
       Em               G 
Twenty years goes by so fast. 
          C      Am 
How did I get here? 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
G             C         G                 D             G 
 Doesn't even like cake, lamenting on her birthday 
             C       Am            D               G 
Two bed in a parley, dreaming when her eyes aren't shut 
               C      G               D                 G 
Looking in the mirror, smiling at her fear 
               C        Am              D          Em 
Nothing really matters, these eyes have so much to see. 
 
 
 
Em          G                C      Am 
She looked around, how did I get here? 
       Em                G 
Twenty years, goes by so fast 
          C      Am 
How did I get here? 
    Em     G              C       Am 
The home I know, how do I get there? 
       Em                    G 
Twenty years, that's what it takes. 
            C      Am 
I know I'll be there.

 Stumbling through a hallway, staying up for three days

Sitting in a walkway, parking in driveways you can't

The home I know, how do I get there?

Twenty years, that's what it takes. 
            C      Am 
I know I'll be there.
