[CHORUS]
A F#m
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
C#m B
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
A F#m
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
C#m B
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am
[VERSE 1]
A
Woke up this morning holding my head
F#m
Thinking last night is one I'll regret
C#m
Washing off the bad decisions, the blurry vision
B
The clues that I'm still a mess
A
Spitting out the taste I have in my mouth
F#m
Knowing what this all is really about
C#m
Knowing there's an explanation, an expiration
B
I gotta figure shit out
[BRIDGE]
A F#m
And they're asking me if I can see the darkness down below
C#m B
And I know it's true, I say I do, when half the time I don't
A F#m
Maybe I can't make what it may take to leave this thing behind
C#m B
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time
[CHORUS]
A F#m
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
C#m B
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
A F#m
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
C#m B
I don't know what I'm chasing, I don't know who I am
[VERSE 2]
A
Waking in the dead of night, I can't sleep
F#m
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks
C#m
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless
B
Instead I gritted my teeth
A
I didn't have the patience left to explain
F#m
Didn't wanna wait while nobody came
C#m
I know the path ahead's uneven
But while I'm breathing
B
I have to make my own lane
[BRIDGE]
