[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D
 Well, I felt the burn

                                               G
Since the day you departed and talked from the tomb
I'm still healing those wounds
D
 And it holds me down
But made me a man that says
                G                      D
"Fuck all those rules, I will be who I choose"

              A
It's a lonely road

         Bm              G                          D
With one grip on several psalms and one grip on the gun

                 A
And it holds the rope

                 Bm                     G
That spins me in circles and dizzies my head

                              D
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

                 A
And it pulled me down

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

          A
It was so long

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

          A
I did not react

             Bm                      G
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask

                   D
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
