View chords used in this chart
Em Am
I think it burns my sense of truth
C
to hear me shouting at my youth
Em
I need a way to sort it out.
Em Am
After I die, I'll re-awake,
C
redefine what was at stake
Em
from the hindsight of a god.
Em Am
I'll see the people that I use,
C
see the substance I abuse,
Em
the ugly places that I lived.
Em Am
Did I make money? Was I proud?
C
Did I play my songs too loud?
Em
Did I leave my life to chance
Em Am Em Am Em
or did I make you f***ing dance?
(And just repeat the same chords through the rest of the song)
Symmetry exists only in our mind.
Our brain is shaping squares.
So I woke up with entropy defined
but the forms still linger there, in my head.
I'll see the people that I use,
see the substance I abuse,
the ugly places that I lived.
Did I make money? Was I proud?
Did I play my songs too loud?
Did I leave my life to chance
or did I make you f***ing dance?
Global concepts uncommon the world round
but we share a mortal frame
that if you can hear reacts to every sound
but no two people move the same.
I think it burns my sense of truth
to hear me shouting at my youth
I need a way to sort it out.
After I die, I'll re-awake,
redefine what was at stake
from the hindsight of a god.
I'll see the people that I use,
see the substance I abuse,
the ugly places that I lived.
Did I make money? Was I proud?
Did I play my songs too loud?
Did I leave my life to chance
or did I make you f***ing dance?
