[Strophe]
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
[Pre-Refrain]
F 
Hell is so close to heaven

Hell is so close to heaven

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
[Strophe]
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 
[Pre-Refrain]

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

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
[Pont]
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
