[Chorus: IRO]
Got me Amstraight up drinkin' Gfrom the Cbarrel
I've been lC/Eosin' Fhours C/E F
Singin' Amsad songs underGneath the Cgallows
Runnin' C/Efrom my sFhadow C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
I need relAmief, I need some peace
GBut the voiceCs, they keep talking to me
And I keep Fgoing to meetings, I pray every evening
But I can't escape my disease
Lookin' at Amme, stare in the mirror
GLook at the Cman starin' back at you
You are your Ffailures, you are your triumphs
You are a prophet, you are an asshole
You are a Amdevil and you are a god G
You buy aC shovel and bury it all
Think you can Fpurchase your way right out of the void and not end up payin' the cost?
Lie to yourAmself, lie to them, hell
GWhatever helCps, forgotten what's real
You think the Fsecrets you keep stay between you and me
But the shadow's attached to your heels, like
[Chorus: IRO]
Got me Amstraight up drinkin' Gfrom the Cbarrel
I've been C/Elosin' Fhours C/E F
Singin' Amsad songs underGneath the Cgallows
Runnin' C/Efrom my Fshadow C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
AmI let it rain through the GsunroofC
I've been parked out by the waterfront
FBeen going to war with myself
Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I
AmI'm back onG day Ctwo, forgot how hard it was
FStarin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was
AmI thought I was Gover Cthis, this isn't what C/Esober is
FWhat kind of dad would hold their kids
Then go back out and ignore the risk?
AmThe shadow wants me to fGorget the Cpain
Wants me to live in the C/Eguilt and the Fshame
So much that I have no choice but to die from the drugs or blow out my fucking brain
AmThe shadow, it wants me too Gbusy
CIt wants me keep driftin'
It wants me to give in to Ffame
It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness that lives in my spirit in different ways
AmShadow, the lighGt
CThey can both blind, got different Fnames
If it's too dark, if it's too bright
It can still burn you with different flames
AmAnd I don't owe them an GiotaC
Tell my mama I'ma die soFber
Yeah, I might be bipolar
I should write an album out in Wyoming
AmLow bottom, I'm a Ghigh Croller
Go full throttle, got no chauffeur
FGot two voices on both shoulders
But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over
[Chorus: IRO]
Got me Amstraight up drinkin' Gfrom the Cbarrel
I've been C/Elosin' Fhours C F
Singin' Amsad songs underGneath the Cgallows
Runnin' C/Efrom my Fshadow C/E F
(Runnin' from my shadow)
[Bridge: IRO]
AmRunnin', I'm runnin', I can't get GawayC, away, away
FChasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
AmRunnin', I'm runnin', I can't get GawayC, away, away
FChasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
AmRunnin', I'm runnin', I can't get GawayC, away, away
FChasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
AmRunnin', I'm runnin', I can't get Gaway
CChasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
FMy mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave
[Outro: IRO]
Keep runnin' from my shadow
