🎸 Verse 1:
G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj13/B
    I put the groceries down on the front lawn
G   Gadd9/F#            Cmaj7              Cmaj13/B
    and think maybe the children just want recognition
G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7          Cmaj13/B
    I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive
G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7       Cmaj13/B
    Wanting to know if I’m more than alive

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Em                A7                         C
    I torched the fields again and killed an honest man
          D          Daug
    Now I understand Mother Nature

🎸 Verse 2:
G   Gadd9/F#   Cmaj7         Cmaj13/B
    Watch me running head-first into the thorns
G   Gadd9/F#      Cmaj7              Cmaj13/B
    It’s like the lights are off but somebody’s home

🎸 Chorus:
Em              Am
    Unwrap that tourniquet ‘round the sun
Em              Am                 C/B
    Turn those subtle reds into neon
C                  A7
    You’ll see the difference when it’s done,
          G               G/F#
    But I understand your hesitation

🎸 Verse 3:
G   Gadd9/F#    Cmaj7             Cmaj13/B
    Come take a walk with me down billionaire’s row
G   Gadd9/F#  Cmaj7            Cmaj13/B
    Trying to keep our balance over zero
G   Gadd9/F#        Cmaj7            Cmaj13/B
    We’ll write the fairytale for the rest of our lives
G   Gadd9/F#     Cmaj7      Cmaj13/B
    Throwing the trash away one more time

🎸 Chorus:
Em          Am
    Holding on to Love like a stone
Em          Am                C/B
    Melting down today for tomorrow’s
C
Covenant of the heart
              A7
You know it’s turbulent from the start
      G               G/F#
And I understand it’s not your nature

🎸 Bridge:
Em  A7  G  D
            But you need a friend
C  A7  G  Bm

Em  A7  G  D
            You’ve got to begin
C  A7   G  Bm
   Again

🎸 Verse 4:
C/G          G                G/F#
     To open castle gates and let me go inside
C/G                G               G/F#
     and taste the bitter tea that won’t let you hide
C/G              G            G/F#
     Then we can take away as much as we can steal
C/G                G              G/F#
     Break all the precious bones before the guards appear
C/G             G          G/F#
     Before the fantasy is cast into the fire
C/G                 G              G/F#
     And strike the temple bell to resonate the
