Instead of the D you can also play Cadd9: x32033
And instead of the F#m you can also play Em7: 022033
Play it the way you like it!
A
My old man he kicked me out
D
He kicked me out
F#m D
When I told him that I lived this way
A D
I lived this way, I lived this way
F#m D
I lived this way, I lived this way
A D
I lived this way, I lived this way
F#m
I lived this way
D
He doesn't own me
A
He doesn't own me
D
He doesn't own me
F#m
He doesn't own me
A
Just escape
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
A D
The black rinse align your face
F#m D
Like a deer drinking water in a picture frame
A D
I swear to God I've seen those eyes
F#m D
The back of my lids when closing mine
A D
With clasped hands we shake it out, shake it out,
F#m D
Lay some boots and we walk away
A D
I felt slightly connected to him
F#m A
And said now boy, now you own me
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
A D F#m D
Yeah, yeah
A
He doesn't sleep
D
So in truth he never wakes up
F#m
Another day rushing to his death
D
Out of breath on the treadmill of the famous
A D
He makes mistakes tells stories to his paintbrush
F#m
And when the world finally sees his art
D
He wishes that he never would have made it
A D
Just escape, just escape ricochets
F#m
And eclipses faith living in a city
With a grey umbrella over your shoulders
D
And you're becoming suffocated by the weight
A
Can't hit those breaks
This is what you wanted, huh
D F#m
But you got it all in vein cause you forgot who you are
D
Right as the world learned your name it goes...
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
D F#m A
Arrows were falling
D A
Arrows were falling
A
Let me ash my issues
D
Ashtray in this asphalt
F#m
American spirits, black coffee
D
Conversations and a passport
A
When God gives you everything
D F#m
Everything that you ever asked for and it still looks a bit different
D
Then when you pictured it on that back porch
A D F#m
And I'm gone world traveller all I got is my songs
D A D
When the nights start blending into one another and I don't recall Tom Petty in this motherfucker
F#m D
All I wanna do is free fall, yeah free fall
A D
And I'm so caught up, I'm caught up, I'm caught up
F#m
And I'm so tired, swore that I wouldn't stare into the light
D
And guess who tried it
A
Shit I'm blinded by this lime light
D
This lime light, it's all night, it's all day
F#m
These bright lights, these bright lights
D
Once you turn 'em on you can't walk away,
A
Don't die here, don't die here
D
I came too far, I'm too great
F#m
But I'm too scared and I'm too afraid
D
To stare this world into its face
A
I'm almost home, I'm driving lost
D
My eyelids closed, light turns to grey
F#m
The cameras off, the show is over
D
You close the curtains and just escape
A D A
Arrows were falling
A D
Arrows were falling
A D A
Arrows were falling
A D
Arrows were falling
A
I live this way
D
I live this way
F#m
I live this way
D
I live this way
A
I live this way
D
I live this way
F#m
I live this way
D A
I live this way
