Em                   C
Man it's good to be alive today

Em                          C
Some folks know I should be in a grave

Em                      C
Floating around on that astral plane

D
But I'm still down here and I'm still breathing

Em                   C
I gotta fire that constantly burns

Em                            C
It's fueled by hard times and lessons learned

Em                          C
You wanna take me down best wait your turn

D
I gotta body count that's stacked up to the damn ceiling

Em                   C
I never gave a damn about your scene

Em                    C
Or your psychotic monopolies

Em                           C
You picked my pocket just to watch me bleed

D
But I'm still out here and I'm still singing
[Chorus]
C                          Em                    D
I guess I've finally found peace out here in the wild

        C                  Em              D
As my reflection shows the lessons and the miles

    C                       Em             D                     G
And hell I've known because hell I've seen hell them ghost still carry me

            C
Through the fields of thorns and the promises broken

            D
There's far too many words that we leave unspoken
[Verse 2]
Em                        C
Maybe for once you could open your mind

Em                              C
It's been like this since the beginning of time

Em                    C
Around here the blind lead the blind

D
They wanna burn you down and leave your ashes smoking

Em                         C
Well, I was fired straight out of a gun

Em                           C
I've lived my life always on the run

Em                           C
I messed around and flew too close to the sun

D
It's been a few years now but my eyes are open

Em                        C
I find it best to just be yourself

Em                                      C
In a world that tells you to be someone else

Em                                           C
For the time will come when the pin hits the shell

D
You best know who you are when your number's chosen
[Chorus]
C                          Em                    D
I guess I've finally found peace out here in the wild

        C                  Em              D
As my reflection shows the lessons and the miles

    C                       Em             D                     G
And hell I've known because hell I've seen hell them ghost still carry me

C                          Em                    D
I guess I've finally found peace out here in the wild

        C                  Em              D
As my reflection shows the lessons and the miles

    C                       Em             D                     G
And hell I've known because hell I've seen hell them ghost still carry me

            C
Through the fields of thorns and the promises broken

            D
There's far too many words that we leave unspoken
[Instrumental Break] Em C Em C Em C D Em C Em C Em C D [Chorus]
      C                          Em                    D
Well, I guess I've finally found peace out here in the wild

        C                  Em              D
As my reflection shows the lessons and the miles

    C                       Em             D                     G
And hell I've known because hell I've seen hell them ghost still carry me

C                          Em                    D
I guess I've finally found peace out here in the wild

        C                  Em              D
As my reflection shows the lessons and the miles

    C                       Em             D                     G
And hell I've known because hell I've seen hell them ghost still carry me

            C
Through the fields of thorns and the promises broken

            D
There's far too many words that we leave unspoken
