Picket Fences(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:
 
    G 
The places I remember are 
getting worn and withered 
   D/F# 
My heart is the picket fences 
and needs a little mending 
C 
am I not everything you 
          D 
thought I should be? 


Verse 2:
 
    G 
The faces in the picture are 
burnt just like the real ones 
     D/F# 
Our skin is the exposure 
it's gotten so much older 
    C 
But am I not everything 
              D 
you thought I could be? 


Pre-Chorus
     Am 
This life long competition 
      C 
still reeks of repetition 
     G 
I've failed at everything 
           D/F# 
I tried to do my life 
                  Am 
plays in front of you 
And now I've realized 
        Bm 
there's nothing left 
for me to hide I've 
C 
opened myself enough 
        D 
for the world 
to see my guts 


 
G             D 
Where are you now? and 
F              Em   F C 
where have you been? 
G 
Everything and everyone 
D 
Everything and everyone 
F               C  D 
Must come to an end 



Verse 3:
 
    G 
The children in the school 
yard have grown so cold and 
          D/F# 
tired The shift is almost over 
I'm praying I don't get fired 
C 
Life isn't everything 
             D 
I thought it should be 


Verse 4:
 
    G 
The bills left on the table 
will be payed if I was able to 
D/F# 
Work a few more hours 
my life has grown so sour 
  C 
Because I'm not everything 
            D 
I thought I could be 
 


Pre-Chorus
 
     Am 
This life long competition 
      C 
still reeks of repetition 
     G 
I've failed at everything 
           D/F# 
I tried to do my life 
                  Am 
plays in front of you 
And now I've realized 
        Bm 
there's nothing left 
for me to hide I've 
C 
opened myself enough 
        D 
for the world 
to see my guts 


 
G             D 
Where are you now? and 
F              Em   F C 
where have you been? 
G 
Everything and everyone 
D 
Everything and everyone 
F               C  D 
Must come to an end 



Outro: 

    G 
The places I remember are 
getting worn and withered

My heart is the picket fences 
and needs a little mending 
C 
am I not everything you 
          D         G 
thought I should be?
