Verse 1: DD/AG/BDD/AG/B You were awakened. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B I was never asleep. DD/AG/B I was just drilling some holes in my head that perpetually... DD/AG/BDD/AG/BDD/AG/B bleeeeeeddddddd. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B You fed your senses. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B I made art of myself. DD/AG/B I drew bear claws on my chest and third eyes on my head looking... DD/AG/BDD/AG/BDD/AG/B doooooooooooown.
Cadd9G6/B It was live, it was all live ammunition in the gun. G6A7sus4 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 A7sus4D it was only maps of constellations.
Solo: [Play intro riff.] DD/AG/B :4x
Verse 2: DD/AG/BDD/AG/B Your hands were shaking. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B Mine were stiff as stones. DD/AG/B They said grab a hold. We said fuck off we'll find our way DD/AG/BDD/AG/BDD/AG/B hoooooooome. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B My blood was burning. DD/AG/BDD/AG/B Yours was spilling out. DD/AG/B We said we'd fly to the ends of the earth just to find DD/AG/B ourselves. Ooohhh.
Bridge 2: [Play bridge riff.] Cadd9G6/BG6A7sus4
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 A7sus4D and go dance out in the storm.
Verse 3: DD/AG/B :3x
DD/AG/B Ooooohhhhhhhhh DD/AG/B Because birds we fly together. DD/AG/B I feel tethered, de-feathered, and weathered. DD/AG/B A push at its best would get me out my nest DD/AG/B then I'll never come home. DD/AG/B It was love. It was true love, DD/AG/B not that shit sold from Hallmark, Hol-lywood, or Wal-Mart. DD/AG/B Losing twelve years worth of soul mates, DD/AG/BDD/AG/B and it's harder and realer than anything I've ever felt.
