G                           G
Dreams, like coins down a well
                        D            Em
Until I realized I was dumb for believing
                     Em
To the bird with no flight
                      D        G
The skies don't ever offer respite
               G
So I wandered off
                      D             Em
And went to fill the holes if my shadows
                  Em
But everything costs
                               D           C
The proof was etched into the backs of my hands


[Chorus 1]
      
C   G                           Em                       D                     C
       I heard you say that you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost, you'd lost your way
C   G                           D                      D
       But I don't think you had much to lose, that house was never built for you
           C                               G                 Em                                D
       And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them and I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
           C                             G                             D
       And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay 'cause at the end of the day 
       D                               G
       You were just something to blame



[Bridge 1] 

G G D Em Em D  x2 


[Verse 2]

G                            G
Face, pressed into your hands
                             D           Em
I couldn't tell if you were crying or laughing
                       Em
They both sound the same 
                        D             G
when you ain't got no skin in the game
                    G
So I took up the fight
                      D              Em
And the roaring in my head was like thunder
                      Em
Until I uncurled my fists
                       D           C
And allowed myself to not give a damn


[Chorus 2]

C   G                           Em                    D                   C
       I heard you say that we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost, we'd lost our way
C  G                           D                  D
       But I don't think we had much to lose that path was never built for us
           C                               G                 Em                                D  
       And I ain't gonna hang my head for them, for them and I ain't gonna let them paint the truth as sin
           C                             G                           D
       And I ain't gonna tell you it's okay when at the end of the day
       D                               G
       You were just something to blame
