Seatbelts Gotta Knock a little Harder Intro: E, F#, D, A/E, E, Esus4, E x 4 Verse 1 :

^EHappiness is just a word to me, And it m^Gight have meant a thing or t^Dwo if I'd kn^A/Eown the difference.

^EEmptiness, a lonely parody, An^Gd my life, another s^Dmokin’ gun A sign of^A/E my indifference.

^CAlways keepin’ safe inside Where no one ^Dever had a chance To penetr^A/Eate or break in.

^CLet me tell you some have tried, but I s^Dlam the door so tight That they^A/E could never get in.

Verse 2 :

^EKept my cool under lock and key And I ne^Gver shed a tear ^D Another s^A/Eign of my condition.

^EFear of love or bitter vanity That k^Gept on the run ^D The main of events a^A/Et my confession.

^CI kept a chain upon my door That would shake the^D shame of Cain into a blind su^A/Ebmission.

^CThe burning ghost without a name Was still calling all t^Dhe same But I just wouldn^A/E’t listen.

Chorus 1 (same as intro):

^EThe longer I'd stall The further I'd crawl ^F#The further I'd crawl

The harder I'd fall

^DI was cra^A/Ewlin' into t^Ehe fire ^EThe more that I saw

The further I'd fall

^F#The further I'd fall The lower I'd crawl ^DI kept f^A/Eallin' into t^Ehe fire

Verse 3 :

^ESuddenly it occurred to me The re^Gason for the run and hide ^D Had total^A/Eed my existence

^EEverything left on the other side Co^Guld never be much wo^Drse that this But could^A/E I go the distance

^C I faced the door and all my shame Tearin' off e^Dach piece of chain Until the^A/Ey were broken

^CBut no matter how I tried The other side was locked ^Dso tight The door ^A/Eit wouldn't open

Chorus 2 :

^EGave it all that I got And started to knock ^F#Shouted for someone

To open the lock

^DI just go^A/Etta get thro^Eugh the door ^EAnd the more that I knocked

The hotter I got

^F#The hotter I got The harder I'd knock ^DI just go^A/Etta break th^Erough the door

Go^Etta knock a little harder Go^F#tta knock a little harder Gotta knock ^Da little harder ^ABreak through the door ^E
