D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
You were awakened.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
I was never asleep.
D D/A G/B
I was just drilling some holes in my head that perpetually...
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
bleeeeeeddddddd.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
You fed your senses.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
I made art of myself.
D D/A G/B
I drew bear claws on my chest and third eyes on my head looking...
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
doooooooooooown.

Cadd9 G6/B
It was live, it was all live ammunition in the gun.
G6 A7sus4
And I meant it, every bullet, and I hope they all stung,
Cadd9
'Cause that's what I deal with every time
G6/B
I lift up the back of my shirt and I show you what
G6
you drew that night with a Swiss Army Knife saying
A7sus4 D
it was only maps of constellations.
Solo:
Play intro riff.
D D/A G/B :4x
verse 2:
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
Your hands were shaking.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
Mine were stiff as stones.
D D/A G/B
They said grab a hold. We said fuck off we'll find our way
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
hoooooooome.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
My blood was burning.
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
Yours was spilling out.
D D/A G/B
We said we'd fly to the ends of the earth just to find
D D/A G/B
ourselves. Ooohhh.
Bridge 2:
Play bridge riff.
Cadd9 G6/B G6 A7sus4
Cadd9
And your heart, it was not there
G6/B
when I needed it the most.
G6
I was floating. It was grounded,
A7sus4
getting buried too deep to stay close.
Cadd9
And I swore I'd dig it up someday,
G6/B
build a fire just to keep it warm.
G6
Then we'll get off the ground and drink rain from the clouds
A7sus4 D
and go dance out in the storm.
verse 3:
D D/A G/B :3x
D D/A G/B
Ooooohhhhhhhhh
D D/A G/B
Because birds we fly together.
D D/A G/B
I feel tethered, de-feathered, and weathered.
D D/A G/B
A push at its best would get me out my nest
D D/A G/B
then I'll never come home.
D D/A G/B
It was love. It was true love,
D D/A G/B
not that shit sold from Hallmark, Hol-lywood, or Wal-Mart.
D D/A G/B
Losing twelve years worth of soul mates,
D D/A G/B D D/A G/B
and it's harder and realer than anything I've ever felt.
Outro:
Play intro riff
D D/A G/B :3x
