This is a great song.
Capo 3
G
I'll try just to stay out
C
Of this decimated place
Em D
That left a bad taste in my mouth
Em C
'Cause when it's gone I feel my home
G
Is spaced away
D Em
And I can't see where I've come from
C G
'Cause weeks from now there's still today.
D Em
And I can't sweep it under the rug or find
C G
A different place to stay
D G
'Cause who I am is where I'm from.
G
I'll try just to move on
C
From these empty holes and the
Em D
Ones who chose to stay back when I was gone
Em
And though these souls are seeking
C G
Something I can't chase
D Em
I often wish we all could go back to the
C G
Hope we've since erased
D Em
And wake up from our comatosal states
C G
That we create to roam
D G
'Cause who I am is who I've known.
Em C G D
I'll just run away
Em C G D
I've got to find myself some better days
G
I'll buy the things I hate
C
Just to replace my wasted motivation
Em D
Spent to fill my plate
Em C G
But when I try to leave behind the things
D
That weigh me down
Em
And keep me on these ropes
C G
They stick around like masking tape
D Em
I thought was in the garbage and tells me
C G
You'll be happy, wait
D G
'Cause who I am is what I've owned.
G
I'll die just to get born
C
It's hard to be brand new
When the things I do
Em D
Are the things I did before
Em C
But I will bomb my home and burn myself
G
And kill the things
D Em
I've carried on my back
C
So long these days are over
G D
Black and charred, debris and ashes
Em C G
And I can feel new air fill up my lungs,
D G
'Cause who I am is a new one.
