I head home the
D# Fm   Gm
halfway point in
A#       G#            G    G 
between progress and alone
        Cm
Forever more I
     D# Fm  Gm    A#
Am a faded sweatshirt
       G#
You forgot was hanging
         G       G 
on the closet door

             Cm
But it's the ride its not
    D#     Fm  Gm     A#
the point you end up at
G#
Treating everyday like
          G            G 
it could be your last
            Cm              D# Fm Gm
One day it will one day it will

And we will praise you at your

funeral for this life
              G   Cm

      Cm          G#
Spend all my life waiting for
            D#      A#
a moment to come to come
        Cm          G#
Walking single file waiting

    D#          A#   Cm  G 
I'm halfway to happy now

and I always mistake it for progress

Cm D# G#     G    Cm D# G#   G 
       for progress

Morning comes, your bed's a safe place
Your eyelids blocking pain but standing in the way
Stay off the brink, come whatever may
Hope for the best, be okay with anything
Let's get a life, allow ourselves to change
Don't be convinced everything will stay the same
You're beaten down, like everyone
But can a person make a difference
if he never makes a sound?

Chorus:
I spent all my life waiting for
a moment to come, to come
Walking single file waiting for
a moment to come, but it won't
I'm halfway to happy now, and
I always mistake it for progress
For progress, for progress

Cm A# D# G#
           for progress
Cm A# D# G#            Cm A# Cm
           for progress

Chorus:
Spent all my life waiting for
 moment to come, to come
Walking single file waiting for
a moment to come, but it won't
We all have to test our will, a trial
I'm halfway to happy now, and
I always mistake it for progress
For progress, for progress, for progress
