[Intro] Asus2 [Verse]
Asus2
You're the shaded sun

       G                 F
You're daddy's broken gun

Asus2
You're the loneliest moon

          G                               F
You are a butterfly dreaming about your cocoon

Asus2
You're the only sound when I am blind

     G         F   Asus2
So I label you mine
[Verse]
Asus2
You're the house you grew up in

       G                            F
You're always just arriving at your end

Asus2
You're your mama's shit eatin' grin

         G                  F
And your daddy's double chin

Asus2
You're the first pair of shoes you ever went to school in

G                                      F
And you're the kid pretending she's in prison

Asus2                Am
Behind the bars of a jungle gym
[Pre-Chorus]
D               C
Someone's gonna give you wings

D                     C
And you'll think it's what you need

D               C
And you'll fly, you'll be so high
[Chorus]
D                             C
But your history acts as your gravity

     D                    C
Your history acts as your gravity

C            D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity
[Verse]
Asus2
You're the only one you ever believe in

G                       F
You're the solution and you are the problem

Asus2
You're a rapist and your only victim

G                        F
You are fact and you are fiction

Asus2
You're the only one you've considered a friend

G
And now you're alive

F                        Asus2
Waiting for your life to begin again
[Verse]
Asus2
You try to find you, you who is lost

         G                      F
But your hooked to the rush of approaching chaos

Asus2
You're king for a minute but a fool for an hour

G                   F
Alone in your room, you are a closed flower

Am
Dreams of your shadow you're going to destroy

G
The way you handle yourself

F                   Asus2 Am
Like an unbreakable toy
[Pre-Chorus]
D               C
Someone's gonna give you wings

D                     C
And you'll think it's what you need

D                  C
And you'll fly man you'll be so high
[Chorus]
         D                    C
But your history acts as your gravity

             D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity

             D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity
[Outro]
             D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity

             D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity

             D                    C
Acts as your history acts as your gravity

              D                C    D
Acts aaa-aaas aaa-aaas aaa-aaa-aaas

             D           C       D C D
Aaa-aaa-aaa-aaas aaa-aaa-aaa-aaas
