D     A     Bm     G


[Verse 1]

D
'Til death do us part, at birth from the start
         A
There's a swell in my heart that you can't tear apart
Bm
Even when the world's gone dark we bear witness
G
To strength underneath of the stress
                 D
A self-religion that we all have

Some call it animalistic
A
A lion in the face of defeat turns to existence
    Bm
When self-preservation is sweeping across the nation
 G                           N.C.
We need a congregation and this is my public statement


[Chorus]
D                  A
I'm walking down parallel lines
                     Bm
Trying to break out this time
            G
I'm in it for the fight
           D
Everything's fine
                         A
I'm having the time of my life
                   Bm
Walking on parallel lines
            G
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion


[Verse 2]
D
It comes as no surprise as we're facing our demise
A
We need to look inside and finally recognize that
     Bm
We're human, yes, but we don't have to accept
     G
This level of self-regret I'm trying to self-reflect
  D
I'm pent up in my cage I can waste away these days
A
Or I can spend these moments developing higher faith
   Bm
In myself and my friends, my parents and my siblings
  G                        N.C.
There is no better time I'm trying to say this simply


[Chorus]
D                  A
I'm walking down parallel lines
                     Bm
Trying to break out this time
            G
I'm in it for the fight
           D
Everything's fine
                         A
I'm having the time of my life
                   Bm
Walking on parallel lines
            G
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion



[Bridge]
D
Some days I can barely wait
A
Just to walk through Heaven's gates
Bm                             G
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
D
Where many come and many go
A
When will we leave? We never know
Bm
Our names are written on a stone
G
So, we won't pass alone
D
Some days I can barely wait
A
Just to walk through Heaven's gates
Bm                             G
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
D
Where many come and many go
A
When will we leave? We never know
Bm
Our names are written on a stone
G
So, we won't pass alone


[Outro]
D
When I pass leave my casket open
A
And send it out to the ocean
Bm
I just want to feel alive with the motion
G
I just want to feel alive with the motion
D
When I pass leave my casket open
A
And send it out to the ocean
Bm
I just want to feel alive with the motion
G                                       D
I just want to feel alive with the motion
