          A    C#7/G#      F#m         D      D/E

When the light hits your eyes in the morning

         A    C#7/G# F#m                   B7  C#7 C#7/E#

And the fight to survive is breaking you down

           F#m                     A       A7/C#   D

You see a chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces

         B7/D#       C#7/E#      F#m B7

But you still don't know what to do

       E9                A A7/G D/F# Dm6/F A/E E9

You're too close to the ground







When the night closes in like an old friend

And the last of your pills is taking you down

You know the doctor's prescription ain't working like it used to

But you still don't know what to do

(B7)   E7  C#7/E#        F#m  B7 E9

You're too close to the ground

             A A7/G D/F# Dm6/F A A7

Still going down

|A...







All your life you were waiting

Just to pass up the dream and leave my town

You blew your chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces

Oh, you just don't know what to do

You're too close to the ground

Too close to the ground

Still going down
