Am G6 Em F
Am G6 Em F
[Verse 1]
Am G6
I've been running from
Em F
Everything I've been apart of
Am G6
I've been hiding in
Em F Am
The alleys and the back streets of my past
G6 Em
Its dark sometimes out here
F Am
With the rats but I survive
G6
We've made a choice
Em F
We've made a choice
[Bridge]
F Em
Ahhh...
Am
There's nothing I can do to change your mind
F Em
Ahhh...
Am
There's a reason why we even had to try
F Em
Ahhh...
Am Dsus2
A piece of you wants me to disappear
E
But for now I'll stay right here
[Verse 2] **down strums + palm mutes
Am Am G6 G6 Em Em Em Em
There's a certain time a day, when light bleeds through the sky
Am Am G6 G6 Em Em Em Em
It burns you up, the ground below, you feels electrifed
Am Am G6 G6 Em Em Em Em
The danger in the air, feels like bullets blazing by
Am Am G6 G6 Em Em Em Em
Just remember where we ran to, before we let go
[Chorus] x4 **down strums**

Am G6
When I came to
Em F
I looked up, saw the moon above
Am G6 Em
I hit the barrier so hard
F Am
I flip head first over the bars
G6 Em F Am
I knew it must be bad but didn't want, to believe
G6
Why'd I have the keys
Em F
Why'd I even, have the keys
[Bridge]
F Em
Ahhh...
Am
There's nothing I can do to change your mind

Ahhh...

There's a reason why we even had to try

[Verse 4]
F Em Am
As she rolls around, in a bed, screaming late at night
F Em Am
I'd do the same, but I don't let nobody, see me cry
F Em Am
And God, you can bear me down
Dsus2
With my mistakes I've made
E
But for now I sow my grave...( Mexico)
