[A] [B] [C] [Em] [F] [G]
[Verse 1]
I bought flowers from a [A]drifter.[B]
[C]Cut my hand on a thor[Em]n,[F][G]
Straight across [A]the fate line.
I'm no [B]palm [C]reader,
[Em]But I doubt that's the [F]sign that I was [G]looking [A]for.[B]
Rainy [C]night in [Em]California.[F]
Told me he [G]fought in the [A]war.
And I'm so [B]desperate to [C]do the [Em]right thing.
I'm not [F]sure what that [G]even is anymore[F].
[Pre-Chorus]
He found a bus stop to [Em]weather the storm.[G]
[Chorus]
[C]I'm gonna stand up straight.
I'm gonna [Em]clear my throat and speak out unafraid.[F]
Mom, I want you to k[A]now
I'm letting e[G]verything you taught me guide me home.

[A] [B] [C] [Em] [F] [G]
[Verse 2]
Faded light from the [A]projector[B]
[C]Spitting summer out on a [Em]screen[F].[G]
The pool we [A]swam in caved in y[B]ears ago.[C]
[Em]We filled it up with [F]furniture and [G]concrete.[A]
[B]I saw right[C] from wrong [Em]then.
[F]The lines were [G]simple and [A]clean.
Now all the [B]people I was [C]taught would be [Em]heroes
Are acting like [F]cowards, [G]killers, and [F]thieves.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm losing track of who the [Em]good guys are supposed to [G]be.
[Chorus]
[C]I'm gonna stand up straight.
I'm gonna [Em]clear my throat and speak out unafraid.[F]
Dad, I want you to k[A]now
I'm letting e[G]verything you taught me guide me home.

[Bridge]
[F]Coming undone at the seam[G]s.
[Em]Stress fractures and [A]muted dreams.
[C]Oh, [F]please.
Undone at the [G]seams.
[Em]Stress fractures and [A]muted dreams.
[C]Oh, [F]please.
Undone at the [G]seams.
[Em]Stress fractures and [A]muted dreams.
