Verse 1:
G#m                 F#
I feel younger everyday
           G#m                      F#
The more I grow, the less I seem to know
G#m                              F#
I've been trying to keep my head straight
        G#m                       F#
Where I roam, it never feels like home
             E                          F#
You feel the weight of the world coming down on your head
               E                               F#
There's people looking at you, and now they're pulling you back
           E                          F#
I've got a circle of ink, it's in the palm of my hand
      E                          F#
And I think it will be there for good

Pre-Chorus:
          E                             F#
We take a piece of ourselves, we draw a line in the sand
              E                              F#
We say "don't cross this, or else," and then we put up a flag
           E                          F#
Oh, how we worship the things that we don't quite understand
         E                       F#     B F#/A# G#m
Oh, it's more dangerous than you know


Chorus:
E                                          B F#/A# G#m
I've got a message that you can't ignore
E                                           B F#/A# F#
Maybe I'm just not the man I was before
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
           F#            B    F#/A# G#m E
'Cause I, 'cause I don't need it    no  more
E                                          B F#/A# G#m
I've got a hunger you will never taste
E                                           B F#/A# F#
Craving a desire that won't go to waste
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
    F#           B    F#/A# F#  G#m      G#m F#/A# B C#m D#
And I, I'm gonna make it    my  own


Verse 2:
G#m                        F#
Someone took my ego away
        G#m                           F#
Hey, so long, won't miss it now, it's gone
G#m                             F#
Now my youth is being replaced
         D#m         G#m        F#
So, good night, it's gonna be alright


Pre-Chorus:
             E                             F#
'Cause now I drink the good wine and now I get out of bed
          E/G#                       F#
And now I let myself love and I'm not scared of the end
          E                           F#
I take it all on the chin and I would do it again
        E/G#                  F#
Because maybe it's time for a change
           G#m                        C#m
I've got a pain in my neck, because I keep looking up
              E                               F#
I'm searching what's coming next, but it won't come from above
              G#m                              C#m
And there's a hole in my chest, like there's a hole in the sun
                   E                           F#
So tell me, what's coming next? I'm searching, what's coming next?
           G#m                             C#m
I've got a pain in my neck, because I keep looking up
              E                               F#
I'm searching what's coming next, but it won't come from above
             G#m                        C#m        E   B F#/A# G#m
And there's a hole in my chest and I'll make it my own


Chorus:
E                                          B F#/A# G#m
I've got a message that you can't ignore
E                                           B F#/A# F#
Maybe I'm just not the man I was before
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
           F#            B    F#/A# G#m E
'Cause I, 'cause I don't need it    no  more
E                                          B F#/A# G#m
I've got a hunger you will never taste
C#m
Craving a desire that won't go to waste
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
    F#
And I, I'm gonna make it my own

Outro:
       F#
It's a chance that you take, that you lose who you have been
E
When you break all the chains that you feel comfortable in
F#
It's a chance that I take, so my hunger can be free
E                  F#          G#m         F#/A#
In the end, in the end, in the end, in the end
