Senses Fail – Grow Away From Me (Guitar)

  Amadd9
I never thought I'd be a father,

              Amadd9
I hope my neurosis ain't a bother,

     Bm
Some days it feels like I'm failing,

   Amadd9
My therapist says that it's normal,

    Amadd9
She made her diagnosis formal,

  Bm
I can't connect like a normal person,

  Bm
Because of all my pain.

        C                           D  Em  D
There's no road map that I can give to you,

     C                             D    Em  D
Just hold on tight and know that I love you.

        Amadd9
And the first six months they flew by,

    Amadd9
The next two years did too,

Bm              Bm                Bm                   Bm
Now I'm looking at old photos and feel like I'm losing you,

   Amadd9
No matter what I do, you'll grow away from me,

   Amadd9
No matter what I do, you'll grow away,

   Bm
No matter what I do, you'll grow away from me,

Bm
I signed up for this tragedy,

C
I want to make sure you know you'll always be enough,

                                               Bm
I want to make sure your hair is never tied in knots,

Bm
I want to walk you down any aisle anywhere.

Bm
I just want to live long enough,

        C
God I'm scared,

            C
I'm so unprepared,

          Bm
It's so unfair,

Bm
God, I’m scared.

        C                              G    D
There's no road map that I can give to you,

     C                                  G   D
Just hold on tight and know that I love you.

C
I gotta keep it together like a basement in the storm, (I gotta keep it together),

        Bm
But I'm floating in the ether like a feather when the siren starts to roar,

       C
I will always be your shelter but the storm will someday come, (I gotta keep it together),

    Bm
But you can always find me in the way you choose to love.

Em/G
I gotta keep it,

                   Em    Em  Em
I gotta keep it together.

        C                              G   D
There's no road map that I can give to you,

     C                                  G   D
Just hold on tight and know that I love you.

C
You are,

C
You are,

Bm
You are the light that leads me home,

C
You are,

C
You are,

Bm
You are the light that leads me home.
