Verse 1:
           C#m            E   A
Is this an exercise or an exorcism?
     C#m            E           A
Firework pilots fly towards the explosion
       C#m                                    E      A             B
In the sky, the bright coloured lights suffer in the horizon of my mind
                       A           B
I'm a patient with no patience
          A   B
Hospital handshakes

Chorus:
C#m             A               C#m             A
We must each be broken if we're ever to be made new again
     E              A           B         (F#m)
The current of this currency is pain
             C#m
Painting me golden


Verse 2:
                      C#m
You're a ghost in the sun
       E          A
A massacre on the winter
       C#m
Silent sea, deafening defeat
         E        A
Drowning in minor seconds
            C#m                               E              A         B
Til there's no line between the truth and the lies we're all hiding behind
                                  A
If it's a choice, what will we decide?
               B                          A       B
When we choose sides between the darkness and the light


Chorus:

Painting me golden
              A
Painting me golden
          C#m  (G#m) (F#m)

She held my hands and walked me back from the ledge where I was standing
A         B             C#m              E
My father sent me to my mother to be punished no longer
    A                 B
I'm gonna heal up now from this trauma
     C#m
I've closed the window
G#m              A     B
Shortened the shadows
