                  Bm                          D 
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith 
                    A                             E 
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way 
                   Bm                          D 
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand 
                      A                              E 
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am 

Verse 
             Bm 
Woke up this morning holding my head 
              D 
Thinking last night is one I'll regret 
                A 
Washing off the bad decisions, the blurry vision 
    E 
The clues that I'm still a mess 
                 Bm 
Spitting out the taste I have in my mouth 
             D 
Knowing what this is all really about 
                   A 
Knowing there's an explanation, an expiration 
  E 
I gotta figure shit out 

Pre-Chorus 
            Bm                         D 
And they're asking me if I can see the darkness down below 
      A                                E 
And I know it's true, I say I do, when half the time I don't 
      Bm                               D 
Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind 
      A                                    E 
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time 

                  Bm                          D 
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith 
                    A                             E 
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way 
                   Bm                          D 
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand 
                      A                              E 
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am 

Verse 
              Bm 
Waking in the dead of night, I can't sleep 
                D 
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks 
            A 
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless 
  E 
Instead I gritted my teeth 
                  Bm 
I didn't have the patience left to explain 
             D 
Didn't wanna wait while nobody came 
                 A 
I know the path ahead's uneven 
                           E 
But while I'm breathing, I have to make my own lane 

Pre-Chorus 
            Bm                         D 
And they're asking me if I can see the darkness down below 
      A                                E 
And I know it's true, I say I do, when half the time I don't 
      Bm                               D 
Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind 
      A                                    E 
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time 

                  Bm                          D 
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith 
                    A                             E 
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way 
                   Bm                          D 
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand 
                      A                              E 
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am 
                     Bm              D 
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh 
                  A               E 
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh 
                     Bm             D 
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh 
                  A        E 
I make it up as I go, as I go 

                  Bm                          D 
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith 
                    A                             E 
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way 
                   Bm                          D 
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand 
                      A                              E 
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am 
                     Bm              D 
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh 
                  A               E 
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh 
                     Bm             D 
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh 
                  A        E 
I make it up as I go, as I go
