Chords with lyrics

Chorus: IRO:

    A minorAm          G+G    C majorC
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

      C/EC/E  FF   C/EC/E FF
I've been losin' hours

    A minorAm       G+G     C majorC
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

    C/EC/E   FF    C/EC/E FF
Runnin' from my shadow

Runnin' from my shadow

Verse 1: Macklemore:

     A minorAm
I need relief, I need some peace

G+G      C majorC
But the voices, they keep talking to me

      FF
And I keep going to meetings, I pray every evening

But I can't escape my disease

      A minorAm
Lookin' at me, stare in the mirror

G+G      C majorC
Look at the man starin' back at you

       FF
You are your failures, you are your triumphs

You are a prophet, you are an asshole

     A minorAm           G+G
You are a devil and you are a god

     C majorC
You buy a shovel and bury it all

       FF
Think you can purchase your way right out of the void and not end up payin' the cost?

      A minorAm
Lie to yourself, lie to them, hell

G+G      C majorC
Whatever helps, forgotten what's real

       FF
You think the secrets you keep stay between you and me

But the shadow's attached to your heels, like

Chorus: IRO:

    A minorAm          G+G    C majorC
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

     C/EC/E  FF   C/EC/E FF
I've been losin' hours

    A minorAm       G+G     C majorC
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

    C/EC/E   FF    C/EC/E FF
Runnin' from my shadow

Runnin' from my shadow


Verse 2: Macklemore:

A minorAm            G+G   C majorC
I let it rain through the sunroof

I've been parked out by the waterfront

FF
Been going to war with myself

Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I

A minorAm     G+G  C majorC
I'm back on day two, forgot how hard it was

FF
Starin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was

A minorAm       G+G  C majorC           C/EC/E
I thought I was over this, this isn't what sober is

FF
What kind of dad would hold their kids

Then go back out and ignore the risk?

A minorAm           G+G     C majorC
The shadow wants me to forget the pain

            C/EC/E      FF
Wants me to live in the guilt and the shame

So much that I have no choice but to die from the drugs or blow out my fucking brain

A minorAm             G+G
The shadow, it wants me too busy

C majorC
It wants me keep driftin'

             FF
It wants me to give in to fame

It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness that lives in my spirit in different ways

A minorAm       G+G
Shadow, the light

C majorC                 FF
They can both blind, got different names

If it's too dark, if it's too bright

It can still burn you with different flames

A minorAm           G+G  C majorC
And I don't owe them an iota

            FF
Tell my mama I'ma die sober

Yeah, I might be bipolar

I should write an album out in Wyoming

A minorAm        G+G  C majorC
Low bottom, I'm a high roller

Go full throttle, got no chauffeur

FF
Got two voices on both shoulders

But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over


Chorus: IRO:

    A minorAm          G+G    C majorC
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel

     C/EC/E  FF   C majorC FF
I've been losin' hours

    A minorAm       G+G     C majorC
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows

    C/EC/E   FF    C/EC/E FF
Runnin' from my shadow

(Runnin' from my shadow)


Bridge: IRO:

A minorAm                G+G  C majorC
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

FF
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

A minorAm                G+G  C majorC
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

FF
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

A minorAm                G+G  C majorC
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away

FF
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

A minorAm                G+G
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away

C majorC
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day

FF
My mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave


Outro: IRO:

Keep runnin' from my shadow
