Life We Chose chords by Jared And The Mill

Intro:
Em G Cadd9

Verse 1:
Em          G               Cadd9
Hourglass inside of my bones
Em               G              Cadd9
Trapped inside a picture frame above your throat
    Em           G           Cadd9
You were someone else when I was too
        Em         G            Cadd9
Weren't we someone else, wasn't I?
N.C.
Weren't you?

Instrumental:
Em G Cadd9

Verse 2:
    Em           G                Cadd9
But giving up is harder said than done
Em                   G
Throwing stones, set love on fire
   Cadd9
We thought we'd won
  Em                G                      Cadd9
I thought I was the man that you thought I was too
    Em
But he went away
G                     Cadd9
He ran away with that girl I thought was you

Chorus:
            C                G            D
But we both know this is the life we chose
        C             G           D
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
            C                   G
Will wither down and run out of time
             D                        Em
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying
        C                G                 D
We both know this is the life that we chose

Verse 3:
   Em             G            Cadd9
So teary-eyed and desperate we manifest
  Em                    G               Cadd9
Into a creature brought on by fear of a destiny we dread
         Em                  G                Cadd9
Our four walls come down but somehow the roof suspends
                Em                        G                   Cadd9
It changed to a cloud, and down comes the rain as we near the end

Chorus:
            C                G            D Dsus4 D
But we both know this is the life we chose
        C             G           D            Dsus4 D
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
            C                   G
Will wither down and run out of time
             D                        Em
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying
        C                G                 D
We both know this is the life that we chose

Verse 4:
    Em                 G                 Cadd9
But comin' back from a hit like that's a chore
     Em                G                      Cadd9
When we were trapped inside of a jail cell we both adore
   Em               G                        Cadd9
My head's a mess, I swear it's like a loaded gun
Em                  G
Set to explode at a flick of your soul
       Cadd9
I'm an awful mess and you said that you're done

Chorus:
            C                G            D Dsus4 D

        C             G           D            Dsus4 D
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
            C                   G
Will wither down and run out of time
             D                        Em
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying
        C                G                 D Dsus4 D
We both know this is the life that we chose
        C                G            D
We both know this is the life that we chose

Bridge:
          G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
          C            G
There's a rain upon my hair
   G
So wet on top of my head, my Lord
        C               D
Let the sun come out instead
       G
To the east I see the sunrise
        C                 G
But the west sunset still falls
          G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
           C            G
And it can only last so long
          G
There's a land of gold where my eyes are set
          C              G
There's a land of gold I see
          G
Where the streams of water flow into the land
          C               D
Where the grass is always green
       G
To the east I see the sunrise
        C                 G
But the west sunset still falls
          G
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
           C            G
But it can only last so long

Chorus:
            C                G            D Dsus4 D
But we both know this is the life we chose
        C             G           D            Dsus4 D
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
            C                   G
Will wither down and run out of time
             D                        Em
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying
