Saint Claire
Em
G C Em
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
G C G Em
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
verse 1:
G
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
C
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
Em G
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
C
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
Em G
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
C
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears
Em G
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas
C
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
Em G
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
C
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
Em G
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
C
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
G
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
C
I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North
Em G
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
C
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours
Excavate
G C Em
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
G C Em
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
G C
And I found peace
Em
And I found peace
G
And I found peace
verse 2: Macklemore
G
I had this vision of my death
C
Surrounded by people I love and respect
Em
In the baby blue Cadillac hearse
G C
Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep
Em G
The greatest fear that I've ever kept
C
Is dying with regrets
Em G
Like was I just alive for success?
C Em
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
G
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
C Em
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
G
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
C
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Em G
Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father
C
Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids
Em G
Hearin' her sing along to Chance
C
And bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid"
G
The light started to glow
C
And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow
Em G
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
C
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
G
Excavate
G C Em
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
G C Em
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
G C
And I found peace
Em
And I found peace
G C
And I found peace
Em
And i found peace
Outro: Macklemore
G C
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
Em G C
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Em G C
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
Em G C
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
G C
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
Em G C
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Em G C
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
Em G C
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
