Trace my life right up till now
()
Then I hurt your style
                   
Ran around till I ran out

                  
Gotta move I’m goin down
()
It’s a painful sound
                    
Lots of room just feel around

Verse:
                           ()
What a difference your love makes, thankful mine always
                     
Cranked the fire on the stage
                           ()
Help me not be such a waste, still crumble it away
                     
Help me keep my present state

Bridge:
                          
And it all      comes together now
                      
All you destroyed
                                   
On your own, back them up, count the pieces now
                                 
You’ve got no choice

SOLO (over bridge progression)

Bridge 2:
                            
You can’t run and scream, be tough
                    
Time to focus on the war
           
Uma got me through it
                    
It ain’t easy we all knew it

                       
But it’s all we came to do
                         
Lets bend down and follow you
                            
cause you know theirs no use fightin
                         
Every ways a life thats frightening, look down
