          A     C#7       F#m         D      D 
When the light hits your eyes in the morning
         A     C#7   F#m                B7 C#7  C#7 
And the fight to survive is breaking you down
           F#m                     A
You see a chance for an answer to fill the
 A7     D
empty spaces
          B7          C#7       F#m B7
But you still don't know what to do
       E9                A  A7   D    Dm6   A  E9
You're too close to the ground

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
You're too close to the ground
Still going down

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
