[B] [E]
[F#m] I was [A] shaking hands with the [B] face of death in the [E] Amazon
[F#m] I [A] was in a trance trying [B] to catch my breath but I couldn't run
[F#m] When he [A] came around I was [B] on the ground blood in my [E] mouth
[F#m] And I [A] realized the whole [B] damn time I've been [F#m] missing out
I would never [A] been loved [B] like you did before
And I [E]
[F#m] would never go [B] back to the way it was
[E] And I
[F#m] think [A] you wanna roll with
[B] [E]
[F#m] me
But I'm never gonna go [B] back to the way it was
[E]
Did you get your fill?
Have you seen it all?
Have you had enough?
It's a jagged pill you've been choking on, you gotta cough it up
Then it finds you, gets you mad, when you're out of the way
[F#] [D] [A] Summertime is [E] only one more breath [F#m] away, just [C#] one more breath away
I'm [F#m] never gonna go [B] back to the way it was
[E]
[F#m] I'm never gonna go back [B] to the way it was
And I [E]
[F#m] think you wanna [A] roll with me
[B] [E] But [F#m] I'm never gonna [A] [E] go [B] back to the way it was
[C#m]
[F#] [A]
[B] And [E] I [F#] [A]
[B] think you wanna roll with me
[E] I [B] [Dm]
[B] don't need to know why the days are not looking back
Listen to your feet on the wood and [D#] the fog, you'll need [B] nothing else but that
You know you don't have to take your past mistakes into the dawn
Chop off your head, come and get back, we're gonna keep moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on
We're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on, we're moving on, [F#] we're moving on
[B]
[D] Oh, we're never [A] gonna go about [B] the way it was
[E]
[F#m] Oh, we're never [A] gonna go back [B] to the way it [E] was
[F#m] Tell me [A] if you wanna roll with the [B] rest of [E] us,
Your world [F#m] is never gonna come back [B] to me.
[F#]
Get out [C#m]
of [B] the way, everyone.
[Dm]
[F#m] Get [F#] out of the
[C#]
[G] [F#] [C#]
[D] [C#m]
[F#] way, everyone.
[D]
[F#] Get out of the
[D]
[F#] way, [C#] everyone.
