[A] [G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [A] [G] [D]
[A] I [G] [D]
[A] figured out where I went [F#m] wrong,
[Em] Stripped out, [D] followed, that was all for [A] long.
[Bm] Too much [C#] luck, too [F#m] little [D] of the action,
Rocked out, [A] acting up,
Wore the world upon my [F#m] back.
[Em] Someone else [D] needs to go up the [A] flag,
[Bm] Just [C#m] because [F#m] I could [D] say,
Smile up, do things [A] my [D] way.
Now I'm looking up, over my luck [A] now,
Confused, all [D] I've ever said, [A] the time [D] around.
Too much to me, the tension in [Bm] the shadow,
[A] I looked up, [D] I felt, a [E] feeling from [A] the ground.
[G] [D]
[A] [A] [G] [D]
[A] Color locked with a frozen [F#] throat,
[E] Life [D] becomes as easy as a [A] joke.
[Bm] Nowadays [C#m] I'm [F#m] thinking [D] back,
Time is a waste of [A] looking [D] back.
Now I'm looking up, over my luck [A] now,
Confused, all [D] I've ever said, the [A] time [D] around.
Too much to me, the tension in [Bm] the shadow,
[A] I looked up, [D] I felt, a [E] feeling from the [A] ground.
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D]
[G] You drop [D] a bucket in the well,
[A] It's got to [E] be time there.
[Em] Break [D] a handle, bring it [G] up,
[Bm] The water's [E] crystal [D] clear.

Too much to me, the tension in the [Bm] shadow,
I [A] looked up, I [D] felt, a [E] feeling from the [A] ground.
