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