[Intro] - |G Bm D A|
--------------------Chorus--------------------
GHere I come, cBmome to you
DIn the veAry clothesG that I killed,Bm
Killed you iDn, now I kAnow I'm alone
GI walkBm to you,D rain fallsA from you
GCan yoBmu wash me,D can you Adrown me
--------------------Verse 1--------------------
GI wanna be a lot of things, so much pent up inside of me
BmI want to be stronger too long I've sat here undecidedly
DPlanning strategy, half of me knows it's all just a fallacy
AFailing miserably, drastically and then I crash dramatically
GInto a wall, I've hit a hundred times before
BmYet I still Ignore the dark red bloodstains on the floor
DNow I'm back in front of you Lord with blood on the floor
AIs the blood mine or yours? Don't wanna DO this anymore
GBack and forth between being me and who you're callin' me to be
BmYou see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key
DTo a door but he can't,'cause he's poor and he can't
AFall down anymore 'cause he's already on the floor
GAnd his heart's broken and all this is his scar
BmBut It's warm from crying so he will try nine times
DTo realize nine crimes that he has more than nine lives
ASo he picks himself up and starts climbing for the prize again
--------------------Chorus 2--------------------
GHere I come, cBmome to you
DJust to sAhow the blood soaked through
GThrough my bones,Bm and all I own
DIs there a wAay for me to grow?
GI walkBm to you,D rain fallsA from you
GCan yoBmu wash me,D can you Adrown me
--------------------Verse 2--------------------
GEvery time I feel selfish ambition is takin' my vision
BmMy crime is my sentence repentance is takin' commission
DIt's taking a toll on my soul I'm screamin' submission and
AI don't know if I am dyin' or livin'
G'Cause I will save face, for name's sake abuse a grace
BmTake a aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
D'Cause my name a is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
AAnd my name a became a new destiny to the grave and
GThey say the oceans' blue, but it's black right now
BmIn the dark, on the sand starin' out at my crowd
DDepression and drowning singing now the full parts
AAnd the lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts
GI've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win
BmBut It's hard for me to tell where the ocean stops and sky begins
DAnd random chunks of light remind me of what is true
ABut right now the ocean is blacker than black and the sky is too...
