  			verse 1 
D 
Well, I felt the burn 
                                                G 
Since the day you departed and talked from the tomb 
            D 
I'm still healing those wounds 

And it holds me down 
                                               G 
But made me a man that says, "Fuck all those rules 
                  D 
I will be who I choose" 


verse 2 
                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 
      D          Bm                     G 
It spins me in circles and dizzies my head 
                             D 
Then says sleep when you're dead 

A    Bm   G 

verse 3 
  D 
Were you ever here? 
 A                  Bm                          G 
Or just lost on the surface that at the first touch 
                     D 
Just evades in the dust 

And it pulled me down 
                   Bm                   G 
And showed me my demons lined up in a sequence 
           D 
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           D        G 
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask 
                    D 
And I never looked back 

   A    Bm   G 

Bridge 
                   A 
Tell me what you know 
          Bm         A         G 
I'm in deeper than I've ever been 
               A 
I will never grow 
              Bm        A           G 
While this anchor is chained to my feet 
  F       G            F      G 
Tell me what you know 
          G          Bm       D 
I'm in deeper than I've ever been 
         G     F      A 
I will never grow 
  F         Bm          D           G 
While this anchor is chained to my feet 
  G           F    A 
Tell me what you know 
 F              Bm           D        G 
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask 

And I never looked- 
G                   D 
I will never grow 
A            Bm              D         G 
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask 

And I never looked- 
                  D 
Tell me what you know 
A             Bm              D       G 
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask 

And I never looked- 
G                    D 
I will never grow 
A             Bm              D       G 
I settled my grievance by crafting a mask 
                    F 
And I never looked back
