G
I cleaned the room
D
Wrote my name
Em
On a folded note
C
Just in case I faded
G
Dog tags cold
D
In my hand
Em
Like a loaded past
C
I was almost persuaded
Em
Then I heard small feet
C
Down the hall
G
His morning laugh
D
Her sleepy call
G
Two little reasons
D
Pulling me back from the ledge
Em
Tiny hands holding
C
The edge of my regret
G
When the dark starts talking
D
They talk louder instead
Em
Two little reasons
C
Keeping breath in my chest
G
I still wake up
D
On the floor
Em
To a desert dream
C
And a breaking door
G
But he brings crayons
D
To my knee
Em
Says Draw a dragon
C
Dad, that kind cant beat me
Em
She paints my scars
C
On cardboard wings
G
Says Fly us there
D
Where the sad stuff thins
G
Two little reasons
D
Pulling me back from the ledge
Em
Tiny hands holding
C
The edge of my regret
G
When the dark starts talking
D
They talk louder instead
Em
Two little reasons
C
Keeping breath in my chest
Em
I trade my rage
C
For a secondhand amp
G
Turn the ghosts in my head
D
Into songs on a ramp
Em
They dance in the kitchen
C
To the hurt I survived
G
I watch them spinning
D
And know Im alive
G
Two little reasons
D
Pulling me back from the ledge
Em
Tiny hands holding
C
The edge of my regret
G
When the dark starts talking
D
They talk louder instead
Em
Two little reasons
C
And I won't forget
G
A girl and a boy
D
In a borrowed house
Em
Their names in my throat
C
When the world goes loud
G
I tune this life
D
For another day
Em
For those two reasons
C
I choose to stay
