Excavate chords by Macklemore

Chords with lyrics

Chorus: Saint Claire:

E minorEm

 G+G         C majorC         E minorEm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
 G+G         C majorC       G+G         E minorEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain


Verse 1: Macklemore:

G+G
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
C majorC
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
E minorEm         G+G
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
C majorC
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
E minorEm             G+G
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
C majorC
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears
E minorEm             G+G
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas
C majorC
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
E minorEm           G+G
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
C majorC
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
E minorEm          G+G
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
C majorC
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
G+G
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
 C majorC
I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North
E minorEm                   G+G
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
      C majorC
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours

Excavate


Chorus: Saint Claire:

G+G         C majorC         E minorEm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
G+G         C majorC        E minorEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
G+G          C majorC
And I found peace
      E minorEm
And I found peace
   G+G
And I found peace

Verse 2: Macklemore:

G+G
I had this vision of my death
           C majorC
Surrounded by people I love and respect
         E minorEm
In the baby blue Cadillac hearse
G+G          C majorC
Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep
         E minorEm          G+G
The greatest fear that I've ever kept
C majorC
Is dying with regrets
        E minorEm          G+G
Like was I just alive for success?
            C majorC                E minorEm
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
         G+G
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
C majorC                       E minorEm
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
         G+G
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
C majorC
My greatest achievement is my daughter
E minorEm            G+G
Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father
C majorC
Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids
E minorEm     G+G
Hearin' her sing along to Chance
C majorC
And bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid"
G+G
The light started to glow
C majorC
And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow
E minorEm              G+G
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
C majorC
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
G+G
Excavate


Chorus: Saint Claire:

Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
 G+G        C majorC        E minorEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
G+G          C majorC
And I found peace
      E minorEm
And I found peace
   G+G      C majorC
And I found peace
      E minorEm
And i found peace


Outro: Macklemore:
G+G               C majorC
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
    E minorEm        G+G        C majorC
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
   E minorEm         G+G           C majorC
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
   E minorEm         G+G         C majorC
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
 G+G               C majorC
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
     E minorEm        G+G        C majorC
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
    E minorEm         G+G           C majorC
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
   E minorEm        G+G         C majorC
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
 G+G   C majorC   E minorEm
