[Intro]
E B F#m x2
[Verse 1]
E
Born under the thunder
B
Thrown into the waves
F#m A
Told to rise above the clouds to find the brighter days
E
I don't remember when it happened
B
But I remember how it felt
F#m A
Something slipped away and I became somebody else
[Bridge 2]
B C#m E A
In the summer stars I see
B C#m E A
Someone I used to be
B
Just a kid again
C#m E
With the sky in my hands
A
Flying free
E B F#m x2
[Verse 2]
E
I gave up on El Dorado
B
So I started painting stones
F#m A
Lived under a life so big I shrunk into my clothes
E
Talking to my shadow
B
Mumbling in the night
F#m A
Covered up the windows 'cause the light it hurt my eyes
[Bridge 2]
B C#m E A
And in notebook twenty-three
B C#m E A
There's a boy I used to be
B
Stuck in his head
C#m E
Picking bugs from his bed
A B E
And dying to be free
[Verse 3]
E
Ejected from the jungle
B
Hallelujah peace at last
F#m A
Once I got out of the woods I thought I never would look back
E
And I hate that it still lingers
B
And I hate that it's this hard
F#m A
Longing for the very things that scare you in the dark
[Bridge 3]
B C#m E A
In the creaking door I hear
B C#m E A
Those shadows reappear
B
And try to pull me in
C#m E
But now I'm tied to the wind
A B E
And I'm blowing out of here
[Verse 4]
E
I want to be a preacher
B
I want to be a saint
F#m A
I just came here with the word that you can learn from all the pain
E
Whatever maybe heaven
B
However you believe
F#m A E
Something circled in and pulled me out and I got clean
