Verse 1:

I’ve been caught side-ways

Tryin' to buy back

the piec-es I lost of my soul.

  1   -1    -1  1   -1  1
It’s hard when the dev-il 

  -1   2   -1   1   -1 1
won’t get off your back.

 1     -1  -1  -1 -1 1   -1   1   -1
It’s like car-ry-ing a-round the past 

-1 1  -1   1    -1    1
in a hun-dred pound sack.

Skeletons and Ghosts are hiding in the shadows
Threatening me with all the things that they know
Choices and mistakes, they all know my name
But I’m through holding in and holding onto all that pain

Let it wash it all a-way,
