CGAmF
Into: --- 2x
Verse 1:
C G Am F
I've been down, I've been out
C
I did it all on my own
G Am F
Seems growing up
C
Didn't take long
G Am F
I feel strange, I feel good
C
I feel better with you
G Am F
You've changed, you should
C
Cause I think I did too
G Am F
Made my mistakes
C
I did a few things right
G Am F
But it will take what it will take
C
Baby, that's life
G Am F
You cannot change what you do not own
C
Everybody knows
G Am F
But if you live deep and love strong
Refrain:
Am
You get pretty damn close
G F
It moves fast and it scares me
Am G F F
I close my eyes, oh but I still see
Chorus:
C
I'm fading in and out
G
What are you supposed to do save me now
Am
From all of this danger you don't know how
F
And I'll find my way out
C
When I'm in the red
G
Listening to strangers inside my head
Am
The darkening angels beneath the bed
F
(hold)
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

Verse 2: ---
I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are
AmGF
Refrain 2: --
I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in
CGAmF
Chorus: ---
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

Bridge: ---
In the distance is a line defining where I've been
Rhe state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red
CGAmF
Chorus: ---
I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said
CGAmF
---
What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
Is painted in red
