[Intro]
F G


[Verse 1]
C
Got a call from you somewhere north of 2 AM
Am
Wanna see what I'm up to, they just let you out of jail again
F                           G                                       C
and you found yourself a program that's helping you see things real clear
C
Finally got yourself on the right track, finally got that monkey off your back
Am
Pickin' up the pieces of your life, repair the damage with your kid and wife
F                             G                               C
You'll take this one day at a time, and this time you'll persevere


[Chorus 1]
F G                     Am
Oh- I know that life is scary
F                           Dm                     G
You think you've found your way, but still I gotta say,
                             Am
I don't think you'll make it Gary

F G                  Am
Oh- make no mistake about it
F                                Dm                            G
I hope you're done with all your strife, live a long and happy life,
                  Am
but I kinda sorta doubt it
                  

[Verse 2]
C
You say you've given it a lot of thought, maybe your story could help kids who're feelin low
Am
Yeah maybe, but prob'ly not. But hey whatever man, you never know.
F                                          G
You say you just wanna give something back, now that you've made it through and seen the worst
C
Maybe you shouldn't give your back a pat till you've made it through the weekend first
Am
You're just trying to occupy your days, the devil's workshop is an idle hand
F                                    G
Don't wanna go back to your old ways, uh-huh, cool, yeah that's awesome man
C
You say that as you're getting on your feet, you need a place to stay for a month or so
Am
You promise that you'll keep your room real neat. That's cool, if I hear anything I'll let you know



[Chorus 2]
F G                     Am
Oh- I know that life is scary
F                           Dm                     G
You think you've found your way, but still I gotta say,
                                   Am
I don't think you're gonna make it Gary
                             

F G                     Am
Oh- some lives are cautionary
F                           Dm                          G
Pullin' for you to win this race, but I'm gonna keep my space
                             C
I don't think you'll make it Gary
