|A A7/G D/F# Dm6/F| |A/E E9|
When the l[A]ight [C#7/G#]hits your ey[F#m]es in the mo[D]rning[D/E]
And the f[A]ight [C#7/G#]to surv[F#m]ive is breaking you do[B7]wn[C#7] [C#7/E#]
You see a c[F#m]hance for an answer to f[A]ill the [A7/C#]empty sp[D]aces
But you s[B7/D#]till don't k[C#7/E#]now what to [F#m]do[B7]
You're [E9]too close to the g[A]ro[A7/G]und[D/F#] [Dm6/F] [A/E] [E9]
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)]You're [E7]too [C#7/E#]close to the g[F#m]round[B7] [E9]
Still going d[A]ow[A7/G]n[D/F#] [Dm6/F] [A] [A7]

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
