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