Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: Db Major

🎸 Intro:

 Db

🎸 Verse:
       Db
It's a long way up from rock bottom
             Db
There's been times I felt I could fall further
 Db
I have loved and lost and feared and prayed
             Bbm   Ab      Db    Db/F Gb Db
But now the day bursts wild and open

         Db
I have cried tears at my brother's grave
 Db
I have shaken hands with my wife's surgeon
 Db
I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
            Bbm    Ab     Db      Db/F Gb Db
But now the day bursts wild and open

           Db/F    Gb              Db       Ab
There's a time to cry, there's a time to fold
            Db/F    Gb                 Db     Ab
There's a time for holdin' on and to let it go
             Db/F   Gb          Db      Ab
There's a time to run to the arms of hopе
          Bbm    Ab     Db   Db/F
And the day bursts wild and open

🎸 Verse:
 Bbm
I was raised by thе church
  Bbm
Choir boy, still far from fizzlin'
  Bbm
Not the pop star they say they prefer
 Bbm
Kept quiet, but I came to be heard
  Gb
Been a long time up top, but I ain't complacent
  Gb
If I look down, I can see replacements
 Gb
Late night drive and my heartbeat racing
             Ab
Gotta make dreams and chase 'em

Bbm
Taken my fair share of that ridicule
 Bbm
But the words are not applicable
 Bbm
Catalogue formidable
                                    Gb
Me and that guy are in a different place
 Gb
Undefeated but that's tempting fate
Gb
Two of them tried it, I won both cases
 Gb
Won't get back all the time they've wasted
           Ab
I am not losing sleep

Bbm
In this world, there's no relaxin'
 Bbm
I've been here since migraine skankin'
  Bbm
Never been cool, but never been a has been
 Bbm
I kip on your couch if you knew me back then
   Gb
Don't tell 'em bout the walls you're trapped in
 Gb
Gotta keep this Usain pace
   Gb
Don't ask me how I got this break
 Gb
I built my own bricks through constant playin'

Bbm
SB died, couldn't stop this pain
 Bbm
I look at the dots in space
 Bbm
I wonder if he's proud
Bbm
Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
  Gb
Keep it together for my daughters, gotta come natural
  Gb
I don't wanna force it
Gb
If it's not factual, don't support it
 Gb                               Ab
Every year, gotta re swim these waters



🎸 Chorus:
        Gb                             Ab
Draw a line, for the sake of all your family and friends
         Bbm                        Db
Draw a line, so history doesn't happen again
       Gb                                    Ab
Draw a line, for the day to start, the night has to end
        Bbm                       Db
Draw a line, for all of these ghosts

🎸 Verse:
 Bbm
I'm too high to fly this plane
 Bbm
Too fucked to drive this Range
 Bbm
Can't remember the last time I was on my own without Kev
 Bbm
It's kinda strange
   Gb
Not been the same since nineteen
 Gb
Now to push Ly on a swing, I gotta wear disguises
  Gb
I'm up for trading life sometimes, and that may surprise 'em

 Bbm
Every stadium, I played it, but I would still do it for free
  Bbm
Gotta keep standards, top of the top of the tree
  Bbm
Press still got problems with me
   Gb
When school starts, I might peace out
  Gb
Till then I keep chasin' the dream
   Gb
I could end it, but I don't wanna reach out
 Gb                Ab
'Cause he means nothin' to me

        Bbm
Don't worry about what I make
 Bbm
Don't trip them up to win this race
 Bbm
When your career's in a risky place
 Bbm
Everything seems like a big mistake
           Gb
I'm still lookin' for shit to say
 Gb
Deludin' myself that they still relate
 Gb
Depression I keep at bay, tomorrow's a different day

                         Bbm
Me and that guy don't speak, no more
 Bbm
I know why, but he's not sure
 Bbm
So what is the reason for?
 Bbm
My heart's been broke so many times by loved ones
 Bbm
That I don't even feel like talkin'
 Gb
So heed that warning
 Gb
Circle keeps gettin' smaller
 Gb
All I need is Chez and my daughters
                      Ab
And a few friends to help me



🎸 Chorus:
        Gb                                   Ab
Draw a line, for the sake of your little girls and their time
        Bbm                              Db
Draw a line, but allow yourself some moments to cry
        Gb                             Ab
Draw a line, and leave the past that hurt you behind
        Bbm                        Db
Draw a line, for all of these ghosts

        Gb                              Ab
Draw a line, be grateful that you've been where you've been
        Bbm                                 Db
Draw a line, and recognize the path that happened between
        Gb                               Ab
Draw a line, there's future here that's yet to be seen
        Bbm
Draw a line (Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line)

(Draw a line, draw a line, draw a line, draw a line)

🎸 Outro:

And the day bursts wild and open
