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