[Verse]
Bm D
There's three parts to love,
Em Bm
Or so I believe.
Bm D
There's a part of you you lose,
G A
And another you receive.
G D
Here I break with the concept,
Em Bm
Though it's central to the piece,
Em G
Leave my mark on the canvas,
A Bm
That only you can see.
Em
I deferred my happiness
G A
For loneliness and time,
Em
But once I'm where I wanna be,
G A
You'll be far behind.
[Chorus]
G D
All the lights in the sky
Em Bm
Are falling to the ground,
G D
And the chains that pull me down,
A
Slacken off when you're around.
G Bm
As the line begins to blur,
F#m G
It's comforting to know,
Em G
But I'll rip out all the hooks
A Bm
From my skin so I can grow.
[Verse]
D
Sometimes I disagreed,
Em Bm
Just to hear you scream,
Bm
You were right
D G A
But I needed you to give emotion back to me.
G D
Here I break with the concept,
Em Bm
Though it's central to the piece,
Em G
Leave my mark on the canvas,
A Bm
That only you can see.
Em
I deferred my happiness
G A
For loneliness and time,
Em
But once I'm where I wanna be,
G A
I'm not leaving you, I'm not leaving you.
[Chorus]
G D
All the lights in the sky
Em Bm
Are falling to the ground,
G D
And the chains that pull me down,
A
They pull me down, they slacken off when you're around.
G Bm
As the line begins to blur,
F#m G
It's comforting to know,
Em G
But I'll rip out all the hooks
A Bm
From my skin so I can grow.
[Outro]
Em G
Yeah I'll rip out all the hooks
A Bm
From my skin so I can grow.
Em G
Yeah I will rip out all the love
A Bm
From my skin so I can grow.
