[Verse 1]
DWe've all got those things crawling under what they perBmceive
DWe know sharp fangs and they chew in the tide aloneG  A  
DMy gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me Bmwhy
DShe'd rather see a man up than me underG  A  
[Pre-Chorus]
GRip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I Ddo, never get over it
BmI said goodbye from a place so far
AI'm under the truth
GBecause words mean nothing Ato fleeting youth
BmRip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to Ayou
[Chorus]
BmI've been trying to work it out
Gotta Aget away, get away from the Dsights and sounds
Keep it Gon the ground
BmI don't wanna be, but just Acarry on and smile on through it
DDeath is true and I'll be Gmissing you
Bm D G A
Em D G A
[Verse 2]
DAdvice is not always Bmright
So I've gone to tread my Dways
The path I've laid out is Bmtied
We're always meant to shine
GYou left a lot of grief
Now it's bleeding out my teeth
Shot holes in every Bmstone heart, oh
GThe tones are on repeat, yet nothing's filling me
It's on my chest and you're Din this art
[Solo]
D Bm G Bm (I play an A for the second Bm in this)
