Tuning: E A D G B E Intro: A Bm G D A Bm G D A A Verse: D G D My window’s painted shut with the sashes screwed together Bm A G D Town was rough when I was young, but we’ve both been doing better Em D C G It’s an old flathead screw and I don’t have the tools I need Bm A G D D Or the will to make the effort it would take to pry it free D G D I’ve been trying to find a space between my thoughts and what I say Bm A G D I still struggle with myself after twenty years clean Em G C G I’ve been sleeping pretty good, least when I get the chance Bm A G D But there’s a slow creeping weariness no rest will ever catch
Chorus: A Bm It’s a slow motion roll of the dice G D You take what you get and you gamble with life A Bm And you chase what you love and renounce what you don’t G D Do the best that you can G D Try to live out of love G D A And you still have to let it all go [Instrumental] D D G D D Bm A G D D Em D C G G Bm A G D D D D Verse: D G D Got a belly full of food and a head full of doubts Bm A G D Feel like a tiger in a cage waiting for a chance to squeeze out Em D C G Paint peeling everywhere reveals what’s beneath Bm A G D There’s workmen rattling chains and blocking up the streets Chorus: A Bm7 It’s a slow motion roll of the dice G D You take what you get and you gamble with life A Bm And you chase what you love and renounce what you don’t G D Do the best that you can G D Try to live out of love G D A A And you still have to let it all go [Instrumental] Bm G D A Bm G D G D G D A A Bridge: D G D It’s choices and chances and chasing of dreams Bm A G D It’s all contradictions at the center of me Em D C G G G G I’m torn between loves that are all that I am Bm A G D I’d have half a heart without either of them Chorus: A Bm It’s a slow motion roll of the dice G D You take what you get and you gamble with life A Bm And you chase what you love and renounce what you don’t G D Do the best that you can G D Try to live out of love Chorus: A Bm It’s a slow motion roll of the dice G D You take what you get and you gamble with life A Bm And you chase what you love and renounce what you don’t G D Do the best that you can G D Try to live out of love G D A A And you still have to let it all go [Outro/Instrumental] Bm Bm G D A
