Key : A
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A   | C#m | D | A | E | D | A 
C#m | D   | A | E 
D   | A   

[Verse 1]
---------------------
        A                     E
I broke free on a Saturday morning
          D                 A
I put the pedal to the floor
Headed north on Mills Avenue
E             D                 A
 And listened to the engine roar
C#m | D | A | E | D | A 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      A                           E
My broken house behind me and good things ahead
             D                              A
A girl named Cathy wants a little of my time
                                 E
Six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking
   D                        A
Ahaha! Listen to the engine whine

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
             A                      E           D
I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
A                                    E           D
 I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
A | C#m | D | A | E 
D | A   

[Verse 3]
---------------------
         A                    E
I played video games in a drunken haze
      D                    A
I was seventeen years young
                                      E
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
             D                 A
The taste of Scotch rich on my tongue
C#m | D | A | E | D | A 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
         A                           E
And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
             D                  A
Trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
                      E
Locking eyes, holding hands
         D                   A
Twin highmaintenance machines

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
             A                      E           D
I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
A                                    E           D
 I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me

[Bridge]
---------------------
A          F#m                      A
 I drove home in the California dusk
  D                             A
I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
                 F#m                       A
Pictured the look   on my stepfather's face
   D                        E
Ready for the bad things to come

[Verse 5]
---------------------
          A                             E
I downshifted as I pulled into the driveway
      D                          A
The motor screaming out, stuck in second gear
                                      E
The scene ends badly, as you might imagine
       D                    A
In a cavalcade of anger and fear
                  A           C#m       D                E
There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
             A                      E           D
I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me
A               A                    E           D  A
 I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me

[Outro]
---------------------
A   | C#m | D | A | E | D | A 
C#m | D   | A | E | D 
A
