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