♥ From their 2023 album Toxic Positivity ♥
I heard this song for the first time when I saw them play Manchester in December 2023 and I just completely
fell in love. It's really simple to play and sounds great acoustic! I've added one of the strumming patterns I
use, but you can play around with it and some parts can be palm-muted too :)
[Intro]
G A Bm F#m [x2]
[Verse 1]
G A Bm Yesterday I woke up wanting to die F#m G Haven't seen the sunlight in some time A Bm Seems like all the plants around me grow to the sky F#m G All my roots are torn up, all my leaves run dry
[Pre-chorus]
A Bm F#m G I'm not breathing unless it's raining A Yeah, I found saving Bm F#m In the cracks of the pavement
[Chorus]
G A And I'm done with the misery Bm F#m Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies G A 'Cause I'm not giving up on me Bm F#m I'm not giving up on me G A And from dirt even flowers grow Bm F#m In the dark night the moon still glows G A So I'm not giving up on me Bm F#m I'm not giving up on me

[Verse 2]
G A Bm Yesterday I woke up wanting to leave F#m G Learning how to stand tall, looking up to the trees A Bm Maybe Heaven has a halo waiting for me F#m G Even fallen angels get to find their peace

A Bm F#m G I'm not breathing unless it's raining A Yeah, I found saving Bm F#m In the cracks of the pavement (woo!)
[Chorus]
G A And I'm done with the misery Bm F#m Yeah, I'm done faking tragedies G A 'Cause I'm not giving up on me Bm F#m I'm not giving up on me G A And from dirt even flowers grow Bm F#m In the dark night the moon still glows G A So I'm not giving up on me Bm F#m I'm not giving up on me
