Intro: (This riff plays throughout most of the song.)
[D] [D/A] [G/B]
Verse 1:
You were a[D]wake[D/A]ned.[G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
I was [D]nev[D/A]er a[G/B]sleep.[D][D/A][G/B]
I was just [D]drilling some [D/A]holes in my [G/B]head that perpetually...
[D] [D/A] [G/B]bleeeee[D]eddd[D/A]dddd.[G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
You fed your [D]sens[D/A]es.[G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
I made [D]art[D/A] of my[G/B]self.[D][D/A][G/B]
I drew bear [D]claws on my [D/A]chest and third [G/B]eyes on my head looking...
[D] [D/A] [G/B]dooooooooooo[D]own.[D/A][G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
Bridge 1:
[Cadd9] [G6/B]
[G6] [A7sus4]
It was [Cadd9]live, it was all live ammu[G6/B]nition in the gun.
And I [G6]meant it, every bullet, and I [A7sus4]hope they all stung,
'Cause that's what I [Cadd9]deal with every time
I [G6/B]lift up the back of my shirt and I show you what
[G6]you drew that night with a Swiss Army Knife saying
[A7sus4]it was only maps of [D]constellations.
Solo:
(Play intro riff.)
D D/A G/B :4x
Verse 2:
Your hands were [D]shak[D/A]ing.[G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
Mine were [D]stiff[D/A] as [G/B]stones.[D][D/A][G/B]
They [D]said grab a [D/A]hold. We said [G/B]fk off we'll find our way
[D] [D/A] [G/B]hooooooo[D]ome.[D/A][G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
My blood was [D]burn[D/A]ing.[G/B][D][D/A][G/B]
Yours was [D]spil[D/A]ling [G/B]out.[D][D/A][G/B]
We said we'd [D]fly to the [D/A]ends of the [G/B]earth just to find
ours[D]elve[D/A]s. [G/B]Ooohhh.
Bridge 2:
(Play bridge riff.)
[Cadd9] [G6/B] [G6] [A7sus4]
And your [Cadd9]heart, it was not there
when I [G6/B]needed it the most.
I was [G6]floating. It was grounded,
getting [A7sus4]buried too deep to stay close.
And I [Cadd9]swore I'd dig it up someday,
build a [G6/B]fire just to keep it warm.
Then we'll [G6]get off the ground and drink rain from the clouds
and go [A7sus4]dance out in the [D]storm.
Verse 3:
D D/A G/B :3x
[D]Oooo[D/A]ohhhhh[G/B]hhhh
Because [D]birds we [D/A]fly to[G/B]gether.
I feel [D]tethered, de-[D/A]feathered, and [G/B]weathered.
A [D]push at its [D/A]best would get [G/B]me out my nest
then I'll [D]never [D/A]come [G/B]home.
It was [D]love[D/A]. It was [G/B]true love,
not that [D]sht sold from [D/A]Hallmark, Hol-[G/B]lywood, or Wal-Mart.
Losing [D]twelve years [D/A]worth of [G/B]soul mates,
and it's [D]harder and [D/A]realer than [G/B]anything I've ever [D]felt[D/A].[G/B]
Outro:
(Play intro riff)
D D/A G/B :3x
