Intro
Em G Am Em
C G Em G
[Verso 1]
Em G
It's just like anything
Am Em
There's a limit, there's a line
C G D G
If you don't work certain muscles in too long of a time
Em G Am Em
And I bet the rust came when the wine changed to water
C G D G
Now the red in my heart, it looks closer to copper
[Pré-Refrão]
Em G
You draw a line in the sand
Am Em
Digging nails in your skin
C G D G
And you don't let it end once you feel it begin
D Em G Am Em
Let it all settle here in your home, in your head
C G D G
And in so many words the entire world said
[Refrão]
G Am
Round off the edges
C
Can't you sit still?
G D/F# Em
I used to get high off the lows, used to feel
Am C
I'm stuck in the middle and giving no ground
G D/F# Em
Go ahead and miss me, brother, I've left town
Am C
Oh, I left piece by piece, but I act like Im whole
G D/F# Em
And poured out the glass just to know it was full
Am C
Poured out the glass just to know it was full
[Verso 2]
Em G
Born to be good
Am Em
And raised to be special
C G D G
But took too much time spending life at ground level
Em G Am Em
A letter changes a lot in "he has so much potential"
C G D G
More and more, the past tense has crept into my present
[Pré-Refrão]
Am C
Do you wander aimless 'til you're medicated
G D
Or until your legs give out?
Am C
Oh, if forward wasnt the only direction
G D
God knows I'd be lost by now
[Refrão]
Am
So round off the edges
C
Can't you sit still?
G D/F# Em
I used to get high off the lows, used to feel
Am C
I'm stuck in the middle and giving no ground
G D/F# Em
Go ahead and miss me, brother, I've left town
Am C
Oh, I left piece by piece, but I act like Im whole
G D/F# Em
And poured out the glass just to know it was full
Am C G
I'd kill to sit still
