Instead of the G you can also play Cadd9: x32033
And instead of the Bm 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
Bm G
When I told him that I lived this way
D G
I lived this way, I lived this way
Bm G
I lived this way, I lived this way
D G
I lived this way, I lived this way
Bm
I lived this way
G
He doesn't own me
D
He doesn't own me
G
He doesn't own me
Bm
He doesn't own me
D
Just escape
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
D G
The black rinse align your face
Bm G
Like a deer drinking water in a picture frame
D G
I swear to God I've seen those eyes
Bm G
The back of my lids when closing mine
D G
With clasped hands we shake it out, shake it out,
Bm G
Lay some boots and we walk away
D G
I felt slightly connected to him
Bm D
And said now boy, now you own me
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
D G Bm G
Yeah, yeah
D
He doesn't sleep
G
So in truth he never wakes up
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
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 Bm
But you got it all in vein cause you forgot who you are
G
Right as the world learned your name it goes...
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
G Bm D
Arrows were falling
G D
Arrows were falling
D
Let me ash my issues
G
Ashtray in this asphalt
Bm
American spirits, black coffee
G
Conversations and a passport
D
When God gives you everything
G Bm
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 Bm
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
Bm 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
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
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
Bm
I live this way
G
I live this way
D
I live this way
G
I live this way
Bm
I live this way
G D
I live this way
