The Strays

[Intro]  C


[Verse 1]

C
Hubcaps & ashtrays
Am
I was born
G
But wasn't raised
C
The big wheel
The black space
Am
Tried my best
G
But wasn't praised


[Prechorus]

F
Hell is so close to heaven
F
Hell is so close to heaven


[Chorus]

C       G
Hold on don't look back
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that
C       G
Lost and thrown away
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that

Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoaa

Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoaa


[Verse 2]

C
The train tracks
To the stage
Am
Played that role
G
The one you made
C
The long nights
To the worst days
Am
Lived it all
G
But I didn't break


[Prechorus]

F
Hell is so close to heaven
F
Hell is so close to heaven


[Chorus]

C       G
Hold on don't look back
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that
C       G
Lost and thrown away
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that

Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoaa
Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoaa

[Bridge]

C                               Am
My whole life they said I'd be nothing
F
But I'm something
C               Am
I would rather be the stray
F               G
Then be nothing to no one at all


[Interlude]

C       Am      G

C
Hubcaps & ashtrays
Am
I was born

But wasn't raised

C       G
Hold on don't look back
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that
C       G
Lost and thrown away
Am              F
You know we're better, we're better than that

Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoaa
Am      G               F
We are the strays,        whoa
