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