Intro 1
(D minor)
(E minor) (D minor)
(A minor) (E minor) (D minor)
Verse 1
When (D minor) your
shadow was your only companion
Dancing in the neighbor's yard
at the trailer park
A (A minor) handsome little (E minor) devil,
mommy's little angel
Stand (D minor) ing in the middle of (E minor) a rainbow
from your angle
(D minor) The world was yours for the taking
Making stadiums from Legos
came so natural for you
(E minor) You always had aspirations
to (A minor) be something (G major) greater
Now it's later
and (D minor) that same world you played in
is out to play you for a fool
Take you for a school trip
to Hard Knock Cafe
An (E minor) d you think you're cool?
Yeah, hey,
here's (A minor) a newsflash (E minor) for you
That's lame, okay?
Lame, (D minor) you gotta grow up,
you gotta show up for work on time
Don't worry about them jerks online
Stay fo (A minor) cused, (E minor) pray know
when you're growing like an oak (G major) tree
Past, present, to future,
your (D minor) po etry is potent
Open your eyes and seize
the moment,
squeeze the lemon
Leave the venom antidote,
(A minor) and it goes (E minor) on
Tomorrow's not lost in (A minor) the twilight zone
(E minor) But you gotta find time to find home
(D minor) Nomads die young,
journeymen die old
Remember that before
you kill your back
working in (A minor) the cold
Cause (E minor) when it's cold it snows,
and when it (A minor) snows the (G major) roads are closed
And I can't have that, (D minor) I'm still traveling
You know what I'm saying? Yeah (G major) (A minor)
(E minor) (G major) (E minor)
(D minor)
(A minor) (E minor) (G major)
(D minor) The days passed so vague
And at this stage your heart was as torn
as your jeans were frayed
(A minor) The pain (E minor) was plain and
prominently displayed
(G major) And your in (E minor) nocence was
tainted in stains
And the (D minor) curveball life blew your way
Though you did your best
to wear your happy face
It would have been sim (G major) ple to simply
(A minor) Drop (E minor) the fast aid
and put sadness in its place
(G major) Seeking solace in the streets and (D minor) al leys
Life was sideways, but so was home
And the last place you wanted to go
A place laced with (A minor) hate
and melan (E minor) choly undertones
Nights of doom
(G major) when you were ban (E minor) ished to your room
Cause mom and (D minor) dad didn't want
you to see the abuse
And the words in the fist they threw
And they hoped the struggle
would escape (A minor) and pass (E minor) by you
And the ways that they were weak
(D minor) may be you wouldn't (G major) repeat
Continuing the cycle (D minor) with your bruise
But instead of living the life they led
You learned what not to do
And you made mir (A minor) acles
from (E minor) their mistakes
And everyday finding (A minor) ways
to tweak (E minor) and fix your fate
Now there's not as (D minor) many
twists and twirls
I'm finally free to be a free
-spirited soul
And not a heartbroken little girl
(A minor) Drinking in the sun (E minor) shine on my skin
Released with (G major) room to breathe
The air has never been so thin
Though (D minor) the past haunts
me every now and again,
I take a moment to reflect
on where I've been
The grounds (A minor) I've
(E minor) covered since I first began,
and the trees (A minor) I had (E minor) to fell to let the light in
Still a (D minor) little bit bitter,
but only getting better
Now color escapes through
my window panes
instead of limelight (A minor) and shades (E minor) of grey
And the scars on my heart
(A minor) map me all (G major) the way
And where the X used to be (D minor) hell,
there is now heaven in its place
(A minor) (E minor)
(G major) (E minor)
You
(D minor)
