Intro
C#m7 B/D# Eadd9 F#sus4
C#m7 B/D# Eadd9
[Verso 1]
I was living in rooms I knew by heart
F# G#m7
Every corner felt like part of me
Eadd9
Even silence had a place to start
C#m7 F#
Something safe, but hard to leave
I kept telling myself, not yet
F# G#m7
Like I could pause what was coming next
Eadd9
Holding on to what I knew
C#m7 F#
While something deeper pulled me through
[Pré-Refrão]
C#m7 B/D#
There was a call I tried to delay
E F# F#sus4 F#
But life kept moving anyway
[Refrão]
Somethings calling me out
Eadd9
While everythings falling away
Like the road I came from
F#sus4 F#
Is fading into a new day
G#m7 D#m7
I dont need to hold oooon
Eadd9 Bsus4
I can finally release
Theres a fire behind me
F# E/B E/B
Burning bridges into peace
[Verso 2]
Faces change and the words fall apart
F# G#m7
What I built doesnt feel like home
Eadd9
Every thread I try to restart
C#m7 F#
Only shows me Ive outgrown
I tried to fix what was already done
F# G#m7
To keep the ending from coming on
Eadd9
But the more I tried to stay
The more the ground slipped away
[Pré-Refrão]
C#m7 B/D#
And in the breaking, I finally see
E F#
Whats leaving now was never for me
[Refrão]
Somethings calling me out
Eadd9
While everythings falling away
Like the road I came from
F#sus4 F#
Is fading into a new day
G#m7 D#m7
I dont need to hold oooon
Eadd9 Bsus4
I can finally release
Theres a fire behind me
F# E/B F#/A# G#m7
Burning bridges into peace
[Ponte]
E
What if this isnt loss at all
F#
But the shape of something true
G#m7 E
Not a fall into the dark
F#
But a light breaking through
Eadd9
Nothing here is meant to stay
F# G#m7
No matter how I tried
E
And every ending makes a space
F#
For what I cant deny
[Refrão]
Somethings calling me out
E
And Im finally letting it lead
Even losing the ground
F#sus4 F#
Is giving me what I need
G#m7 D#m7
I dont need to go baaaack
Eadd9 Bsus4
Im not who I used to be
Theres a fire behind me
F# Badd9
Burning bridges into peace
Outro
F#/A# G#m7 F#
I carry less than I feared
Eadd9
But more than I knew
And in the open unknown
F# E/B E/B
I am becoming true
