Em 
G C Em Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away G C G Em Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
verse 1: G If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it C Would they judge me or love me for what I've written? Em G Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body C It's the vessel like I'm not in it Em G In fifty-something years, I won't be here C There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears Em G Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas C Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror Em G What you looking for? What you headed towards? C What's your name worth when they mention yours? Em G When you leave here, are you stepping forward? C Can you remember your intention when they question yours? G They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours C I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North Em G If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for? C If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours Excavate
G C Em Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away G C Em Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain G C And I found peace Em And I found peace G And I found peace
verse 2: Macklemore G I had this vision of my death C Surrounded by people I love and respect Em In the baby blue Cadillac hearse G C Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep Em G The greatest fear that I've ever kept C Is dying with regrets Em G Like was I just alive for success? C Em Or did I leave a better life for the rest? G My greatest achievement isn't the dollars C Em My greatest achievement isn't the followers G My greatest achievement isn't the accolades C My greatest achievement is my daughter Em G Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father C Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids Em G Hearin' her sing along to Chance C And bein' like, 'Yeah, that's my kid' G The light started to glow C And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow Em G Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones C Couple miles to go before I run out of road G Excavate
G C Em Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away G C Em Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain G C And I found peace Em And I found peace G C And I found peace Em And i found peace
Outro: Macklemore G C Hold me up into the light and study every part of me Em G C I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read Em G C Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave Em G C But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me? G C Hold me up into the light and study every part of me Em G C I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read Em G C Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave Em G C But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me? G C Em Gemini
