I'm goin' back alive, of course I am As if I ever had a choice Back to what I always knew I was, on the inside Back to what I really am Look at this pathetic place I made With little bits of sticks and hair and anything I found along the way And tell yourself you know You're not really what you know you are, you know? Of course you do I think I may have listened to you I think I may have even listened to you At the height of my demise Chorus 1: G# F C# F# e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|--------------10-10-10-10-6----6--------------| D|----6----6----x--x--x--x--x----x----4----4----| x4 A|----x----x----8--8--8--8--4----4----x----x----| E|----4----4--------------------------2----2----| C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 e|----------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------6--6--6-5-4----4----4--6--6--6b----| D|----6----6----6--6--6--6-5-4----4----4--6--6--6b----| x4 A|----6----6----6--4--4--4-3-2----2----2--4--4--4-----| E|----4----4----4-------------------------------------| G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire Verse 2: - repeat Riff 1 - Oh my god I missed you, it's been so long And I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline Now I know, now I know, now I know for certain Now I know for certain Oh burn, motherfucker Carry the carcass and throw it on Pull up a chair and watch The flies come roaring out And will surround the entire world And blacken out the sky and every last one of you Like a plague of locusts Like an exit, like an end, like the end, like the end, like the end Chorus 2: G# F C# F# e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|--------------10-10-10-10-6----6--------------| D|----6----6----x--x--x--x--x----x----4----4----| x4 A|----x----x----8--8--8--8--4----4----x----x----| E|----4----4--------------------------2----2----| C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and C F C# F# (Breathe, breathe, breathe) break through the surface and G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 e|----------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------6--6--6-5-4----4----4--6--6--6b----| D|----6----6----6--6--6--6-5-4----4----4--6--6--6b----| x8 A|----6----6----6--4--4--4-3-2----2----2--4--4--4-----| E|----4----4----4-------------------------------------| G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 G#5 C#5 C5 B5 C#5 I am forgiven, I am free, I am a field on fire Outro: N.C.
