Dm Bb F C
verse 1:
Dm Bb
See the barricades ahead
F Bb
Roll my sleeves up, lift my head
Dm Bb
I hear you wail, what can't be done
F Bb
You are many, I am one
Dm Bb
And what becomes, it's hard to tell
F Bb
Like looking down the deepest well
Dm Bb
But I will take a torch with me
F Bb
And light the way for you to see
Pre Chorus
Dm Bb F C
Do you understand what it's for
Dm Bb F C
This dirt is on my hands, the blood on yours?
Chorus:
Dm Bb F
I was clawing up the walls for so long
C
You were pulling me down, pulling me
Dm Bb F
I was trying not to fall for so long
C
Now I’m gonna get out
Dm Bb F C
Gonna get out
verse 2:
Dm Bb
Compliments like falling rocks
F Bb
Are ticking bombs with faulty clocks
Dm Bb
And I will not be fooled again
F Bb
I took my means and found my end
Dm Bb
And all the days from then til now
F Bb
Were steps I climbed to show you how
Dm Bb
Small the world would seem to be
F Bb
When you forget what you believed
Pre Chorus
Dm Bb F C
Do you understand what it's for
Dm Bb F C
This dirt is on my hands, the blood on yours?
Chorus:
Dm Bb F
I was clawing up the walls for so long
C
You were pulling me down, pulling me
Dm Bb F
I was trying not to fall for so long
C
Now I’m gonna get out

Gonna get out
Dm Bb F
I was clawing up the walls for so long
C
You were pulling me down, pulling me
Dm Bb F
I was trying not to fall for so long
C
Now I’m gonna get out
Dm Bb F
I was clawing up the walls for so long
C
Now I’m gonna get out

I was trying not to fall for so long
