Difficulty: Novice

Chorus:
                  Bm                          D
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
                    A                             E
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
                   Bm                          D
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
                      A                              E
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am

Verse:
             Bm
Woke up this morning holding my head
              D
Thinking last night is one I'll regret
                A
Washing off the bad decisions, the blurry vision
    E
The clues that I'm still a mess
                 Bm
Spitting out the taste I have in my mouth
             D
Knowing what this is all really about
                   A
Knowing there's an explanation, an expiration
  E
I gotta figure shit out

Pre-chorus:
            Bm                         D
And they're asking me if I can see the darkness down below
      A                                E
And I know it's true, I say I do, when half the time I don't
      Bm                               D
Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind
      A                                    E
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time


Chorus:
                  Bm                          D
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
                    A                             E
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
                   Bm                          D
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
                      A                              E
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am

Verse:
              Bm
Waking in the dead of night, I can't sleep
                D
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks
            A
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless
  E
Instead I gritted my teeth
                  Bm
I didn't have the patience left to explain
             D
Didn't wanna wait while nobody came
                 A
I know the path ahead's uneven
                           E
But while I'm breathing, I have to make my own lane


Pre-chorus:
            Bm                         D
And they're asking me if I can see the darkness down below
      A                                E
And I know it's true, I say I do, when half the time I don't
      Bm                               D
Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind
      A                                    E
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time


Chorus:
                  Bm                          D
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
                    A                             E
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
                   Bm                          D
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
                      A                              E
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am
                     Bm              D
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
                  A               E
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
                     Bm             D
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh
                  A        E
I make it up as I go, as I go


Chorus:
                  Bm                          D
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
                    A                             E
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
                   Bm                          D
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
                      A                              E
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am
                     Bm              D
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
                  A               E
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
                     Bm             D
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh
                  A        E
I make it up as I go, as I go
