The War on Drugs - In chains
Album: A deeper understanding
CAPO 4
[Intro]
G Em x3
[Verse 1]
G
Goin' out the way I always do
Em
Callin' out your name
D
Tryin' not to hate myself
C
For gettin' in the middle
And shining every light upon it
[Verse 2]
G Em
Still I miss the way you’d hold me close in a cold wind
D
I caught you in our room staring at the light
I’d been up all night
C
Is this life and we’re just living it?
[Bridge]
Am Em D
Still I wanna celebrate our love
[Verse 3]
G
I’ve been rollin' like a sixteen
I can die on the floor
Em
I’ve been shackled and delivered
D
There’s a girl out there with silence in her eyes
C
Her truth is in the dark
[Bridge 2]
D C
And I see you comin' in view
Bm
Yeah, I need you
Am
I’m comin' in two
G
In view
[Chorus]
C G D Em C G D
Ain’t no wind that I could feel in a fleetin' rain
C G D
Turn around and rip my heart
Em C G D
Then look at it and say how you broke away
C G D Em C
Ain’t no way to elevate to another line
G D
With nowhere to go
C G D
Ain’t no chains to hold you in
Em C
To hold you to
G D
To losing you
[Instrumental]
G Em
[Verse 4]
G
Hiding from an enemy
When something inside me died
Em
It’s hard to see real clear these days
With darkness on my mind
D
As I stare into the ocean floor
And I wonder where I once was
C
Was I fallin' through the air tonight
Then crumble into your arms?
G
Is this love?
Em
Are you sure?
D C
Is it something you can control?
G
I’m retired
Em
I’m in chains
D
I’m in love
C
I’m in pain
[Verse 5]
G
All these changes everywhere
Just go ahead and take my hand
Em
Hold me close, now let me go
Try and understand
D
I believe in all the power
In doing what we can do
C
We can try and learn to make it through
Then come out the other side
[Bridge 3]
D C
I don’t see you at all comin' in view
Bm Am
How do we decide what we can do?
Bm
I don't read your mind
Am
Gimme truth
G Em D C
