Came Out Swinging — The Wonder Years
Chords and lyrics for Came Out Swinging by The Wonder Years (key of G).
Verse 1
Moved all my shit into my parent's basement
And out of [D]our old apartment
And [G]I know things changed but I'm not sure when
I[Em] guess you'd call this [G]regression
I[D] left a real job and a girlfriend
I[G] convinced myself that I'm brave enough for all of this
[Em]Well, I spent a whole [G]year in airports
[Em]And the floor [G]feels like home[D]
Oh, [A][Em]
[G] at least we're never alone
I[D] lost track[A] of the time [Em]zones and I'd call but you know
[G]Oh, [Em][A][D]
[G]I'm[D] [A]running on empty
The late nights[G] and the long drives start to get to me
I'm [D]just so tired[G][Em]
[D]I spent this year[A] as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for
A voice [G]on a phone that you rarely [D]answer anymore
[G]I came in here alone[D]
[G]Came in here alone
(But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago)
I[D] spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore
[G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [Em] [G]
Been on a steady fast food diet
Like we're [D]this generation's Morgan Spurlock
But [G]we don't admit defeat[Em]
My [G]body feels rejected, I can't say that I blame it
[D]My heart keeps saying [G]stay young
[Em]My lower back seems to disagree
[G]Unrolled a cheap cotton blanket on an old dirty couch
[Em]Oh,[A][D][G]
[Em]I [G]felt [D]the year start to wind down
I can't [A]stand any dead space[Em]
Empty [G]beds bum me out[D]
Oh,[A]
[Em]I [G]spent[D] this year as a ghost and I'm not sure what I'm looking for
A voice [G]on a phone that you rarely [D]answer anymore
[G]I came in here alone[D]
[G]Came in here alone
(But that doesn't scare me like it did seven months ago)
I[D] spent this year as a ghost and I'm not sure where home is anymore
[G] [D] [A]
[D] [G] [D] [A]
I came out swinging from a South Philly basement
[D]Caked in stale beer and [G]sweat under half-lit fluorescents
And I [D]spent the winter writing songs[A] about getting better
Well [D]if I'm being honest, I'm [G]getting there
I [D]came out swinging from a[A] [B]South [G]Philly basement
[D]Caked in stale beer and [G]sweat under half-lit fluorescents
I spent [D]the winter writing songs [A]about getting better
And [D]if I'm being honest, I'm [G]getting there
I [D]came out swinging from a[A] [B]South [G]Philly basement
[D]Caked in stale beer and [G]sweat under half-lit fluorescents
I spent [D]the winter writing songs [A]about getting better
And [D]if I'm being honest, I'm [G]getting there
[D] [A] [B] [G]
