[Intro]  C


[Verse 1]

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


[Prechorus]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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 


[Prechorus]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

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 


[Interlude] 

C       Am      G

C
Hubcaps & ashtrays

I was born

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,        whoa
