Excavate chords by Macklemore

Chorus: Saint Claire:

Em

 G         C         Em
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
 G         C       G         Em
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain


Verse 1: Macklemore:

G
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
C
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
Em         G
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
C

It's the vessel like I'm not in it
Em             G
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
C
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears
Em             G
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas
C
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
Em           G
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
C
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
Em          G
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
C
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
G
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
 C
I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North
Em                   G
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
      C
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours

Excavate


Chorus: Saint Claire:

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


Verse 2: Macklemore:

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

And I found peace
      Em
And I found peace
   G      C
And I found peace
      Em
And i found peace



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