C# F#
Almost gave up yesterday
C# F#
Almost made it to the top
C# F#
Short of dying just the other day
C# F#
Fell short of pickin up a mop
C# G#
If it’s the thought that counts you can always count on me
C# G#
I think about it all the time
C# G#
It’s gonna hit me like a bolt of white lightnin’
C# G#
Here it comes my piece of mind

‘Cause I’m close… So close
C F
So close…
C F
I’m close So close
C F
So… close…

I’m fallin’ short of provin’ it

Just a hair from the truth
C# F#
Little shy of im — provin’ it
C# F#
Here I come I’m comin’ through
C# G#
Pretty soon I’m gonna shed this skin I’m wearin’
C# G#
I’ve been keepin’ it in — side
C# G#
No one cares just how ya got there
C# G#
No one cares how hard ya tried

Ain’t like we never got in trouble

It’s just we’ve never gotten caught

It’s in me you can con — fide

And if we ever get split up

I’ll always be on your side
