Backslide

[Intro] Am  Em  Am  Em

 Am
Rat race, place to place, addin' 
weight
 Em
Tendencies on repeat, innit?
 Am
Benefit from a shoe with no lace
 Em
Take the seat with the crease in it

 Am
I don't mind if it's lonely
 Em
I don't mind if it's fair
 Am
I don't care, you control me
 Em
Leadin' me anywhere

               Am                  
I don't wanna backslide to where I 
  Em
started from
            Am                     
There's no chance I will shake this
  Em
 again

                   F               
'Cause I feel the pull, water's 
     C/G
over my head
                     G
Strength enough for one more time
               D9
Reach my hand above the tide
                F
I'll take anything you have
                  C/G
If you could throw me a line
             G
I should've loved you better
                   D9              
Do you think that now's the time 
                F
you should let go?
Continues after the ad
      Em
It's over my head

 Am
Bad place, on a hundred-dollar bass
 Em
Kinda wishin' that I never did 
Saturday
           Am
Is that a stain? You should change

Are you doin' good?
        Em
Did you solve all of your problems?

Thanks for askin' In a way, but
  Am
Accidentally uncovered a new one 
yesterday
    Em
What happened to what I brushed 
under the rug?
          Am                       
I used to be the champion of a 
            Em
world you can't see
