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