(Hook)
I’ve been pushing all my life...all my life..all my life…
I've been pushing all my life
I’ve been pushing all my life...all my life..all my life…
I've been pushing all my life
 
(Verse)
    Db                   C
For someone to see right through
Fm                      Ab
All the false alarms I pulled
Db                      C
Someone to stand their ground
Fm                        Ab
When I start to tear them down
Db              C
Someone to out last
Fm                        Ab
The hold ups that hold me back
    Db                  C
For someone to make it past
    Bb
The guards of the cynical heart, sick of singing now
 
(Chorus)
Fm Eb   Ab            Db
Ooohhh, I always jump ship
          Fm  Eb       Ab        Db
But we are closer than I’ve ever been
         Fm          Eb
I say we stay in the fire
Ab              Db                Bb
And hope we can burn our way out
 
The road to my heart gets hot as hell
 
(Hook)
I’ve been pushing all my life...all my life..all my life…
I've been pushing all my life
I’ve been pushing all my life...all my life..all my life…
I've been pushing all my life
 
(Verse)
    Db                  C
For someone to call me out
Fm                     Ab
When I start to run my mouth
 Db                C
Someone to talk me down
Fm                      Ab
Off ledges that I have found
Db                 C
Someone to hold me close
Fm                       Ab
When I'm screaming to let go
Db                 C
Someone to make it past
    Bb
The guards of the cynic go hard sick of singing now
 
(Chorus)
Fm Eb   Ab            Db
Ooohhh, I always jump ship
          Fm  Eb       Ab        Db
But we are closer than I’ve ever been
         Fm          Eb
I say we stay in the fire
Ab              Db                Bb
And hope we can burn our way out
 
The road to my heart gets hot as hell
 
(Hook)
I’ve been pushing all my life.. all my liife.. all my life…
I've been pushing all my life…
I’ve been pushing all my life.. all my liife.. all my life…
I've been pushing all my life…
 
(Bridge)
Fm          Eb
I know that it’s not fair
 Ab                  Db
To think that you’ll still be there
Fm          Eb             Ab  Db
I know that it’s not fair
           Fm                      Eb
But if you leave well the pattern repeats
                Ab                        Db
I’m pushing you away but that’s not what I mean
       Fm                    Eb
Oh I’m ashamed and I cannot believe
                     Ab                          Db
That this is what it takes just to get close to me
 
Is this what it takes just to get close to me?
 
(Chorus)
Fm Eb   Ab            Db
Ooohhh, I always jump ship
          Fm  Eb       Ab        Db
But we are closer than I’ve ever been         
Fm Eb   Ab            Db
Ooohhh, I always jump ship
          Fm  Eb       Ab        Db
But we are closer than I’ve ever been
         Fm          Eb
I say we stay in the fire
Ab              Db                Bb
And hope we can burn our way out
 
The road to my heart gets hot as hell
 
(Hook)
I’ve been pushing all my life.. all my life.. all my life…
I've been pushing all my life…
I’ve been pushing all my life.. all my life.. all my life…
I've been pushing all my life…
