Mantra chords by Sam Fender

🎸 Intro:

D   Am   G/B   C   G   F   C   G



🎸 Verse 1:
   D                                                  Am
"Please stop tryin' to impress people who don’t care about you"

I repeat as a mantra
G/B    C                                 G
I've known this wicked waltzer all too long
                         F
It's the cycle I’m stuck on
                       C                           G
And I'm tryin' to be better, but I fall at every hurdle

🎸 Interlude:
G   F   C   G

G   F   C   G

🎸 Verse 2:
  D
Please stop tryin' to find comfort in these sociopaths
        Am
Their beauty is exclusively on the surface
G/B      C                                     G
As they pull you side to side with all their drugs and who's who stories
     F                                  C
And fill that empty space from bein' a child
     G
Or somethin' like that

🎸 Interlude:
G   F   C   G

G   F   C   G


🎸 Verse 3:
  D
Straddle these rusted wheels and pedal through the gridlock
        Am
On this dry summer evenin', turn my phone off
                   G/B   C
I’m not receivin’ anything or anyone
          G                                 F
Just the sound of the empty caverns in my skull
                       C                         G
Self-loathin' will be cold if I rise above this lull
