Intro Em G D A
[Verso 1]
Em G
I've made a deal
D A
To my heart, my very heart
Em G
For every beat was angry
D A
And salvation was so far
Em
I prayed with my flesh
G
Because my soul gave away
D
After setting my shrine
A
I found some beasts out to slay
Em
I tried to look back
G
'Cause I was feeling so wrong
D
My past stared at my heart
A
Like those beasts were my own
[Refrão]
G
I'm cutting ties
Bm
And burning bridges
G
Standing ground
Bm A
And making decisions
G
Around the world
Em
And home again
G
I'm on the road
A
To be a better man
( Em G D A )
[Verso 2]
Em
No answer has come
G
As if by design
D
I've turn to the mirror
A
Ready to dive
Em
Smashed down my idols
G
And opened my books
D
Casting to a shallow grave
A
My pride and my looks
[Refrão]
G
I'm cutting ties
Bm
And burning bridges
G
Standing ground
Bm A
And making decisions
G
Around the world
Em
And home again
G
I'm on the road
A
To be a better man
Final
G
And the Universe met me there
Bm A
Like an inner cease-fire
G
And my questions were no more
Bm A
I was the one I most admired
( Em G D A )
