Am G C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
C/E F C/E F
I've been losin' hours
Am G C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
C/E F C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
Runnin' from my shadow
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Am
I need relief, I need some peace
G C
But the voices, they keep talking to me
F
And I keep going to meetings, I pray every evening
But I can't escape my disease
Am
Lookin' at me, stare in the mirror
G C
Look at the man starin' back at you
F
You are your failures, you are your triumphs
You are a prophet, you are an asshole
Am G
You are a devil and you are a god
C
You buy a shovel and bury it all
F
Think you can purchase your way right out of the void and not end up payin' the cost?
Am
Lie to yourself, lie to them, hell
G C
Whatever helps, forgotten what's real
F
You think the secrets you keep stay between you and me
But the shadow's attached to your heels, like
[Chorus: IRO]
Am G C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
C/E F C/E F
I've been losin' hours
Am G C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
C/E F C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
Runnin' from my shadow
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Am G C
I let it rain through the sunroof
I've been parked out by the waterfront
F
Been going to war with myself
Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I
Am G C
I'm back on day two, forgot how hard it was
F
Starin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was
Am G C C/E
I thought I was over this, this isn't what sober is
F
What kind of dad would hold their kids
Then go back out and ignore the risk?
Am G C
The shadow wants me to forget the pain
C/E F
Wants me to live in the guilt and the shame
So much that I have no choice but to die from the drugs or blow out my fucking brain
Am G
The shadow, it wants me too busy
C
It wants me keep driftin'
F
It wants me to give in to fame
It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness that lives in my spirit in different ways
Am G
Shadow, the light
C F
They can both blind, got different names
If it's too dark, if it's too bright
It can still burn you with different flames
Am G C
And I don't owe them an iota
F
Tell my mama I'ma die sober
Yeah, I might be bipolar
I should write an album out in Wyoming
Am G C
Low bottom, I'm a high roller
Go full throttle, got no chauffeur
F
Got two voices on both shoulders
But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over
[Chorus: IRO]
Am G C
Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
C/E F C F
I've been losin' hours
Am G C
Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
C/E F C/E F
Runnin' from my shadow
(Runnin' from my shadow)
[Bridge: IRO]
Am G C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am G C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am G C
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
F
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
Am G
Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away
C
Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
F
My mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave
