Macklemore - Excavate

F^Gill my lungs up, po^Cur my heart out, pe^Emel my bones away C^Grack my window, sh^Ced my shadow, ^Gexcavate my pain ^Em

^GIf I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it ^CWould they judge me or love me for what I've written? ^EmTryna get closer to^G spirit that enters the body ^CIt's the vessel like I'm not in it ^EmIn fifty-something years, I^G won't be here ^CThere'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears ^EmWalkin' 'round a hallway, d^Greamin' of ideas ^CFind himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror ^EmWhat you looking for? W^Ghat you headed towards? ^CWhat's your name worth when they mention yours? ^EmWhen you leave here, a^Gre you stepping forward? ^CCan you remember your intention when they question yours? ^GThey're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours I'^Cve been to rock bottom and I'm headed North ^EmIf you don't love yourself, what's the r^Gespect for? If you don'^Ct love life, the check won't correct yours

^GFill my lungs up, ^Cpour my heart out, ^Empeel my bones away ^GCrack my window, s^Ched my shadow, e^Emxcavate my pain ^GAnd I found peace ^C And I found ^Empeace And I ^Gfound peace

^GI had this vision of my death Surrounded by people I^C love and respect In the baby blue ^EmCadillac hearse ^GPullin' me 'round the^C block that I rep The greatest fear ^Emthat I've ever kept ^{G C}Is dying with regrets Like was I just ^Emalive for success? ^G Or did I leave a better ^Clife for the rest? ^Em My greatest achiev^Gement isn't the dollars ^CMy greatest achievement isn't the followers ^Em My greatest achiev^Gement isn't the accolades ^CMy greatest achievement is my daughter ^EmWakin' up in the morning, ^Gbein' a father ^CWatchin' the light kiss her eyelids ^EmHearin' her ^Gsing along to Chance ^CAnd bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid" ^GThe light started to glow ^CAnd the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow ^EmTender, laying in the snow, t^Gurn on my headphones ^CCouple miles to go before I run out of road ^GExcavate

^GFill my lungs up, p^Cour my heart out, ^Empeel my bones away C^Grack my window, ^Cshed my shadow, e^Emxcavate my pain ^GAnd I found peace ^C And I found ^Empeace And I ^Gfound peace ^C And i found ^Empeace
