This Year Lyrics & Tabs by Shearwater
This Year
guitar chords lyrics
i broke free on a saturday morning
i put the pedal to the floor
iheaded north on mills avenue
and listened to the engine roar
my broken house behind me and good things ahead
a girl named cathy wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood, crashing and kicking
ah ha, listen to the engine whine
i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
and then cathy showed up and we hung out
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
and then cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes, holding hands
twin high maintenance machines
and i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i drove home in the california dusk
i could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
i pictured the look on my stepfather's face
i was ready for the bad things to come
i downshifted as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out, stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly, as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year
and i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
