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