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