Fences

Bb  Eb  Am  C  F  Am  C  F

[Verse 1]
Am                   C
Down to earth in the dirt
                          F
Used 'em up so I'm out of words
F
Barely breathing
Am                  C
Still alive as samurais
                            F
Cut me up and then down the sides
F
Stop the bleeding

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am              C                         F
 Did I say, say I know anything? 'Cause I don't
Am                   C                         F
 But I will pay, pay double just to get what I want

[Chorus]
       C    Dm          Am                  C
I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah
       C    Dm
I keep swinging
         Am               Dm
Makes no sense, but I go again
            C             Dm             Am              F
'Cause I, I might just be dumb enough to keep on trying 'til I die
           C    Dm          Am                  F
And I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
       Am          C                                 F
Steady odds in the eyes, out of luck, but I roll the dice
F
Still believing
         Am                C                           F
Keep the faith, no time to pray, warming up for a Hail Mary

Got that feeling

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am              C                         F
 Did I say, say I know anything? 'Cause I don't
Am                            C                       F
 Yeah, but playing safe, safe isn't really playing at all
F
At all

[Chorus]
       C    Dm          Am                  C
I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah
       C    Dm
I keep swinging
         Am               Dm
Makes no sense, but I go again
            C             Dm             Am              F
'Cause I, I might just be dumb enough to keep on trying 'til I die
           C    Dm          Am                  F
And I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences

[Bridge]
Dm         F
  And it's hard when the fire keeps crawling up your sleeves
         Dm
And it's harder than you ever thought that it could ever be
      Am                                     G
And a light in the dark is all you wanna see, you wanna see
         F
And it's hard when the fire keeps crawling up your sleeves
         Dm
And it's harder than you ever thought that it could ever be
      Am                                     G
And a light in the dark is all you wanna see, all you wanna see

[Chorus]
       N.C.                                 C
I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah
       C    Dm
I keep swinging
         Am               Dm
Makes no sense, but I go again
            C             Dm             Am              F
'Cause I, I might just be dumb enough to keep on trying 'til I die
           C    Dm          Am                  F
And I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah
       C    Dm          Am                  C
I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences, ah
       C    Dm
I keep swinging
         Am               Dm
Makes no sense, but I go again
            C             Dm             Am              F
'Cause I, I might just be dumb enough to keep on trying 'til I die
           N.C.
And I keep swinging for the fences, ah, for the fences
