F#m

B/D

Wanna know where I dF#mon't go

When it goes from OK to a F#moh no

When it goes from hi five to a lF#mow blow

When it goes from all five to a sF#molo

Lemme tell you what you dF#mon't know

I been down so lF#mow I was

Looking for something but denF#mying that I found it

There's an F#melephant sitting in the room

And I can't find another way to tF#miptoe around it

I been doF#ming greater good for a long time

But F#mI can't find any other way to give now

I been pF#mutting myself on the sideline

And it's been tF#mime so I'm saying can I live now

There are times when I kF#mick myself

SF#may I'm not sick but I can't get well

SF#may I got this while I chase my tail

As F#mif they can't tell

I'm running from my shF#madow

REunning from my shadow

But it's stBill there chasing me dAown

I'll never win the bF#mattle

NEever win the battle and

I shBould have known it by nAow

Just when I think I've fF#mound the end E

I'm going back arBound again A

Running from my shF#madow

REunning from my shadow

But it's stBill there chasing me dAown

LF#might side's got a dark side to it

DEaytime flows into night like fluid

The yB/Din and the yang with a curved line through it

And nDone of it's illuminating why I do it

F#m Maybe I didn't want to chase what was not right

E Maybe I didn't want to face you were offsides

B/D Thinking I was far away from a crossed line

D But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie

F#m There are things that you say and you don't say

E My tongue's gotten real tired of me biting it

B/D 'Cause I keep on following the wrong way

D Time's come and I can't keep denying it

F#m There are times when I kick myself

SEay I'm not sick but I can't get well

SB/Day I got this while I chase my tail

As if thDey can't tell

I'm running from my shF#madow

REunning from my shadow

But it's stBill there chasing me dAown

I'll never win the bF#mattle

NEever win the battle and

I shBould have known it by nAow

Just when I think I've fF#mound the end E

I'm going back arBound again A

Running from my shF#madow

REunning from my shadow

Over Again

Key: AbHard

AbSometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye oCmnce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

SoAbmetimes, sometimes you don?t say goodbye Cmonce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

CmIt was a month since he passed, maybe less

CmAnd no one knew what to do, we were such a mess

We were texting, we were calling, we were checking in

EbWe said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend

FmWell now that show's finally here, it's tonight

Supposed to gEbo to the bowl, get on stCmage, dim the lights

With our fFmriends and our family, in his name, celebrate

There's noGm way that I'll be ready to get back up on that stage

CmCan't remember if I've cancelled any show

But I Ebthink about what I'm supposed to Cmdo and I don't know

Cause I thFmink about not doing it the same way as before

And it Ebmakes me wanna puke my fuCmcking guts out on the floor

We rFmehearsed it for a month, I'm not worried about the set

I get tEbackled by the grief at times that CmI would least expect

I know wFmhat I should be doing when I'm singing but instead

We'll be plGmaying through a song and I'd remember in my head

AbSometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye oCmnce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

SoAbmetimes, sometimes you don?t say goodbye Cmonce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

CmWhat (are) they saying, I'm not raw?

What the fuck you take me for?

EbAll the sudden you hear what I've said a hundred ways before?

CmI been pushed, I been trapped

Drug myself through hell and back and

EbFallen flat and had the balls to sCmtart it all again from scratch

FmHow do you feel, how you doing, how'd the show go?

CmAm I insane to say the truth is that I don?t know

CmMy body aches head's spinning this is Fmall wrong

GmI almost lost it in middle of a couple songs

And eveAbrybody that I talk to is like, ?C7wow

CmMust be really hard to figure what to do now?

Well tBbhank you genius, you think it'll be a challenge

Only my liFmfe's work hanging in the fucking balance

AbAnd all I wanted was to get a little bit of closure

CmAnd every step I took I looked and wasn't any closer

Bb'Cause sometimes when you say goodbye, yeah you say it

FmOver and over and over and over

AbSometimes, sometimes you don't say goodbye oCmnce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

SoAbmetimes, sometimes you don?t say goodbye Cmonce

You say goodbye oBbver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

AbOver and over and over again

CmOver and over and over again

BbOver and over and over again

FmOver and over and over again

Make It Up As I Go

Key: BmMedium

I keep on running Bmbackwards, I keep on losing Dfaith

I thought I had the Aanswers, I thought I knew the Eway

My brother said be Bmpatient, my mother held my hDand

I don't know what I'm Achasing, I don't know who I am E

Woke up this Bmmorning holding my head

Thinking last Dnight is one I'll regret

Washing off the Abad decisions, the blurry vision

The Eclues that I'm still a mess

Spitting out the Bmtaste I have in my mouth

Knowing what Dthis is all really about

Knowing there's an Aexplanation, an expiration

I Egotta figure shit out

And they're Bmasking me if I can see the Ddarkness down below

And I Aknow it's true, I say I do, when Ehalf the time I don't

Maybe BmI can't make what it may take to Dleave this thing behind

But I Ashut my eyes and cross each line and Eevery time

I keep on running Bmbackwards, I keep on losing Dfaith

I thought I had the Aanswers, I thought I knew the Eway

My brother said be Bmpatient, my mother held my hDand

I don't know what I'm Achasing, I don't know who I am E

Waking in the Bmdead of night, I can't sleep

Sleeping in the Dlight of day for like weeks

Reality was Aout of focus, I could be hopeless

InEstead I gritted my teeth

I didn't have the Bmpatience left to explain

Didn't wanna Dwait while nobody came

I know the path aAhead's uneven

But while I'm breathing, I Ehave to make my own lane

And they're Bmasking me if I can see the Ddarkness down below

And I Aknow it's true, I say I do, when Ehalf the time I don't

Maybe BmI can't make what it may take to Dleave this thing behind

But I Ashut my eyes and cross each line and Eevery time

I keep on running Bmbackwards, I keep on losing Dfaith

I thought I had the Aanswers, I thought I knew the Eway

My brother said be Bmpatient, my mother held my hDand

I don't know what I'm Achasing, I don't know who I am E

So I make it up as I Bmgo, ooh-oh, ooh-Doh

I make it up as I Ago, ooh-oh, ooh-Eoh

So I make it up as I Bmgo, ooh-oh, oh-Doh

I make it up as I Ago, as I Ego

I keep on running Bmbackwards, I keep on losing Dfaith

I thought I had the Aanswers, I thought I knew the Eway

My brother said be Bmpatient, my mother held my hDand

I don't know what I'm Achasing, I don't know who I am E

So I make it up as I Bmgo, ooh-oh, ooh-Doh

I make it up as I Ago, ooh-oh, ooh-Eoh

So I make it up as I Bmgo, ooh-oh, oh-Doh

I make it up as I Ago, as I Ego

Lift Off

Key: DmEasy

DmAmCC

DmI'm off of the AmEarth

On a rCide, alone

DmLift off like Virgin Galactic

AmMy Richard's too Branson to fuck with you bastards

CVery legendary, that's some matter-of-fact shit

CYou're the opposite of stars like "rats" spelled backwards

DmI flow poems out to Saturn and passed it

AmEasy as a standard anti-gravity backflip

CSatellite tracking can't map out my tactics

CI spit the same shit they split an atom in half with

DmNo, it's not what I want but it had to be

AmI spent six months just recharging my battery

CImagine me quitting, what a travesty that would be

CYou space shuttle Challengers are nothing but tragedies

DmSo take care on the path that you're headed

AmI'm the father to your style, don't you ever forget it

CI don't drop mikes, only let it smoke where I set it

CAnd I don't play, even when they press it, get it?

DmI'm off of the EAmarth

On a rCide, alone

DmI'm drifting Amaway

Out of tCime, afloat

DmAway from the tAmruth

Away from the nCight, away from the day

DmI'm off of the EAmarth

On a rCide, alone

DmPlease brace for impact

AmMust've went to space and got sent back

But I'm still inCtact, in fact, take a picture of me

You can sCee that I'm a star with your lens cracked, Supernova

DmIn Caesar's Palace, stuntin' on my opponents

'Cause histAmory'll show we done been to war like Romans

CDid that dance with the devil, Hell hot as a kettle

CSo it's no wonder why I put this ice on all of my metal

And wear that sDmhit like a medal, used to think I was a joker

No JAmared Leto when I said I'd get us out the ghetto

CSlam my foot on the pedal

CBook a studio when I couldn't afford Instrumentals, Fuck it, record acapella

Flyin' cDmoach, dreaming Coachella until they banned me

Now they like AmBambi's mother - dead -

AmI'm on to these Grammys

I'm rollin' tChese grams gladly, purple and green like Daphne

CShades on like Velma, hair long like Shaggy

Crushin' Dmaddys in my water, got my voice raspy

Haven't sAmlept since California and that shit was last week

CParanoid when I sleep, but when I'm high, I'm happy

CThat's why I need to kiss the sky when I get stuck in the valley

Lift Dmoff

DmI'm off of the EAmarth

On a rCide, alone

DmI'm drifting Amaway

Out of tCime, afloat

DmAway from the tAmruth

Away from the nCight, away from the day

DmI'm off of the EAmarth

On a rCide, alone

Nothing Makes Sense Anymore

Key: DEasy

DAmGC

D I used to know where the bAmottom was

Somewhere fGar under the ocean wCaves

D Up on a ledge I was lookAming down

It was fGar enough to keep me sCafe

But the grDound was cracked open

ThrAmew me in the ocean

CCast me out away at sGea

And the wDaves are still breaking

NAmow that I awaken

NCo one's left to answer mGe

My inside's Amout my left is rCight

My upside's dGown my black is whDite

I hold my brAmeath and close my Ceyes

And wait for dGawn but there's no lDight

Nothing makes sAmense anymore anymCore

Nothing makes sGense anymore anymDore

Nothing makes sAmense anymore anymCore

Nothing makes sGense anymore anymDore

D I used to sleep without wakAming up

In a drGeam I made from painted wCalls

D I was a moment awayAm from done

When the blGack spilled out across it Call

And my Deyes were made sober

WAmorld was turned over

WCashing out the lines I'd sGeen

And my hDeart is still breaking

NAmow that I awaken

NCo one's left to answer mGe

My inside's Amout my left is rCight

Promises I Can't Keep

Key: AmEasy

AmCGD

AmWhat's the difference between Ca man and a monster

GIs it somewhere between D"I can" and "I want to"

AmIs it somewhere between Cthe promises I made

GAnd the fact I couldn't see something Dgetting in the way

AmI used to think that I Cknow what I want

GNever saw it coming Dunglued

AmI used to think that I Cknow what I want

GNow it's time to see if it's Dtrue

AmI had so much Ccertainty

Til that Gmoment I lost conDtrol

And I've Amtried but it Cnever was up to Gme D

I've got Amno worse Cenemy

Than the Gfear of what's still Dunknown

And the Amtime's come to Crealize there will Gbe

DPromises I can't keep

Watching As I Fall

Key: BbmHard

Bbm

Ebm

BbmExcuse me while I kiss the sky

DbSing a song of sixpence, pFmocket full of lies

GbThinking I'm okay, but they're saying otherwise

EbTell me how I look but can't lFmook me in the eyes

BbmWatching as I say this and then I do that

TDbelling them the old words but in a nFmew rap

GbThen I change my mind up and make them lose track

Shit I'm inconsistent I tBbmhought they knew that

EbMaybe I should be more grateful

That I had to waGbtch it all come undone

AbHolding so tBbmight to the edge is painful

But I can't Dbignore it I know

They're watching as I Bbmfall, they're staring as I gDbo

I gave until my soul hGburt, and never told them Ebmso

They're watching aFms I fBbmall, to somewhere down bDbelow

But maybe I'm just faGblling, to get somewhere they wEbmon't, to gGbet some ha

BbmExcuse me while I sympDbathize

Singing with the fat lady tell me what's the Fmtime

Nothing is forever don't be Bbmmad at the design

Worlds On Fire

Key: DMedium

DDon't think I need to say this

D'Cause you know what's in my head

D"Fucked up" is an understatement

DCan't wait for this year to end

DIt all fell apart, don't know where to start

DAnd everything moves so slow

DI can't get a break, it's too much to take

DBut closing my eyes, I know

When the wCorld's on fire, Bmall I need is yDou

I don't Calways think to Bmsay it but it's trDue

When CI just wanna Bmdisappear, Cyou're the one that Bmkeeps me here

The wCorld's on fire, Bmall I need is yDou

DThe riot's on the horizon

DWe're calling each other's bluff

DThe smoke's filling up the skies

DAnd I say we should pack it up

DMaybe the blaze will take this away

DTo ash and to earth below

DYou tell me to breathe, that you still believe

DAnd, closing my eyes, I know

When the wCorld's on fire, Bmall I need is yDou

I don't Calways think to Bmsay it but it's trDue

When CI just wanna Bmdisappear, Cyou're the one that Bmkeeps me here

The wCorld's on fire, Bmall I need is yDou

Instrumental

When the wCorld's on fire, Bmall I need is yDou

I don't Calways think to Bmsay it but it's trDue

When CI just wanna Bmdisappear, Cyou're the one that Bmkeeps me here
