Biography:
The Sam Chase has a voice like a Nun on the lam with a mouthful cigarettes and curse words in a lonely bar, drunkenly dancing next to a broken jukebox. His songs are scribbled, not written, on lipstick and sweat stained motel bedsheets because he likes the way the ink bleeds. His guitar runs on diesel and leaks like the morning after too much Whiskey. His is a show you'll probably want to tattoo on your body so everyone will know that you knew him before he was cool.

Really love this album, slowly making my way through it playing different songs, hope you enjoy!

your own interpretation to the picking style and I'm sure it will still sound great :)
For most instances that a G is played, it's without the G on the top E string so just a normal E sounds:
CAPO 3
C (4 bars)
[VERSE 1]
C
Keep running
Am
The body is burning
G
within your gentle bones
F G
that you keep hidden from the world
C
there are millions
[VERSE 2]
C
So keep smiling
Am
The world is watching
G
In those eyes you see reflections
F G
of a boy who's head is swelling
C
from delusions
[CHORUS]
Am
Take your time
G
as you took mine
F
You're not the only one
C
who's here to save us
F
You may be strong
C
But your strength is useless
F
Take a breathe
C
what you hold is precious
G
Just like the rest, you're just as helpless
[INTERLUDE]
|Am |G |F C |G |
[VERSE 3]
C
I'll keep strumming
Am
the tune I'm humming
G
It's the only thing that lifts my spirit
F G
above the beer and cigarettes
C
I keep around me
[VERSE 4]
C
I sing loudly
Am
and keep laughing
G
and I'll crack wise as a disguise
F G C
to hide the weight my spirit puts upon my body
[CHORUS]
Am
I took my time
G
to write this line
F C
it's important to remember all my friends
F C
Who see me though kaleidoscopic lenses
F C
They are the artist, I am their canvas
G
Just like the rest I'm just as helpless
[INTERLUDE]
|Am |G |F C |G | x2
[OUTRO]

Take your time
G
and I'll take mine
F
We're not the only ones

Who are here to save us

We may be strong
C
but our strength is useless
F
Take a breath
C
What we hold is precious
G
Just like the rest, we're just as helpless
