Clean (bare acoustic)

Clean

The cleanest I've been

An end to the tears

And the in-between years

Em D

And the troubles I've seen

D Bm

Now that I'm clean

You know what I mean

I've broken my fall

Put an end to it all

Em D

I've changed my routine

Now I'm clean

I don't understand

What destiny's planned

I'm starting to grasp

What is in my own hands

I don't claim to know

Where my holiness goes

I just know that I like

What is starting to show

Sometimes

Clean

The cleanest I've been

An end to the tears

And the in-between years

Put an end to it all

Em D

I've changed my routine

Now I'm clean

As years go by

All the feelings inside

Twist and they turn

As they ride with the tide

I don't advise

And I don't criticise

I just know I what I like

With my own eyes

Sometimes
