[Intro]
C Am F G x2
C Am
[Chorus]
F G
I am out for a walk
C Am
And I will not be back till they're staining my skin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
F G
Every night I do walk
C Am
And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
[Verse 1]
F G C
There's a way to truly be seen
Am F
By furiously skimming in
G C
Forget the jewels, I'm livid
Am F
Veins are shutting out fine on their own
G C
Blood on my cheeks, birds come by
Am F
One of my stomps and they fly
G C Am
People politely smile to make sure I won't come any closer
[Chorus]
F G
I am out for a walk
C Am
And I will not be back till they're staining my skin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
F G
Every night I do walk
C Am
And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
[Verse 2]
F G C
Now a swollen eye is four days
Am F
Of curious calm, snow in May
G C
Way better off on my own
Am F
Since no one cries there's no one to blame
G C
It hurts, I feel everything
Am F
As my sense of self's wearing thin
G N.C.
Such pains can be a delight
N.C.
Far from when I could drown in my shame
[Chorus]
F G
I am out for a walk
C Am
And I will not be back till they're staining my skin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
F G
Every night I do walk
C Am
And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin
F G
This is how I chose to talk
C Am
With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin
[Post-Chorus]
F
Say now
G
(I chose to talk)
C Am
(violent hits, blossoms akin)
F
Say now
G
(I chose to talk)
C Am
(violent hits, blossoms akin)
F
Say hun hun hun
G
(I chose to talk)
C Am
(violent hits, blossoms akin)
[Outro]
F
Say now
G
(I chose to talk)
C Am
(violent hits, blossoms akin)
