[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
 DWell, I felt the burn
Since the day you departed and talked from the Gtomb
I'm still healing those wounds
 DAnd it holds me down
But made me a man that says
"Fuck all those Grules, I will be who I Dchoose"
It's a lonely Aroad
With one Bmgrip on several Gpsalms and one grip on the Dgun
And it holds the Arope
That spins me in Bmcircles and dizzies my Ghead
Then says, "Sleep when you're Ddead"
A Bm G
[Verse 2]
  DWere you ever herAe?
Or just lost on the Bmsurface that at the first Gtouch just evades in the Ddust
And it pulled me Adown
And showed me my Bmdemons lined up in a Gsequence, forming a Dcrowd
It was so Along
With a Bmpiece of happy Ghome that they stripped from the Dbone
I did not Areact
I settled my Bmgrievance by crafting a Gmask
And I never looked Dback
A Bm G
D A Bm G
[Bridge]
GTell me what you knowA  
I'm in Bmdeeper than AI've ever Gbeen
GI will never Agrow
While this Bmanchor is Achained to my Gfeet
DTeGll me what you knowD  A  
I'm in Bmdeeper than AI've ever Gbeen
GI will never growD  A  
While this Bmanchor is cAhained to my fGeet
[Outro]
GTell me what you knowD  A  
I settled my Bmgrievance by Acrafting a Gmask
And I never looked...
GI will never growD  A  
I settled my Bmgrievance by Acrafting a Gmask
And I never looked...
GTell me what you knowD  A  
I settled my Bmgrievance by Acrafting a Gmask
And I never looked...
GI will never growD  A  
I settled my Bmgrievance by Acrafting a Gmask
                   N.C
And I never looked back

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Well, I felt the burn

Since the day you departed and talked from the tomb

I'm still healing those wounds

And it holds me down

But made me a man that says

G D

"Fuck all those rules, I will be who I choose"

It's a lonely road

Bm G D

With one grip on several psalms and one grip on the gun

And it holds the rope

Bm G

That spins me in circles and dizzies my head

Then says, "Sleep when you're dead"

A Bm G

[Verse 2]

D A

Were you ever here?

Bm G D

Or just lost on the surface that at the first touch just evades in the dust

And it pulled me down

Bm G D

And showed me my demons lined up in a sequence, forming a crowd

It was so long

Bm G D

With a piece of happy home that they stripped from the bone

I did not react

Bm G

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked back

A Bm G

D A Bm G

[Bridge]

G A

Tell me what you know

Bm A G

I'm in deeper than I've ever been

G A

I will never grow

Bm A G

While this anchor is chained to my feet

D G D A

Tell me what you know

Bm A G

I'm in deeper than I've ever been

G D A

I will never grow

Bm A G

While this anchor is chained to my feet

[Outro]

G D A

Tell me what you know

Bm A G

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked...

G D A

I will never grow

Bm A G

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked...

G D A

Tell me what you know

Bm A G

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

And I never looked...

G D A

I will never grow

Bm A G

I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

N.C

And I never looked back
