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