AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Verse 1]
AmCGC
I held a funeral for my past today
AmCF
Laid it in the ground where it's meant to stay
AmCFC
With the roots, the dirt, pain and the hurt
AmCGC
I held a funeral for my past today
[Verse 2]
AmCFC
I got down on my knees, dug up a mighty grave
AmCGF
Made room for all the darkness, the anger, and the shame
AmCFC
So deep it never haunts me, gone forever and always
AmCGC
I held a funeral for my past today
[Refrain]
AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Verse 3]
AmCFC
Well, I've been cutting roses, never thought this day would come
AmCGF
Me and my shadow, we were living as one
AmCFC
Every day I tried to fight it, my demons always won
AmCFEmFG
'Til I stopped fighting
AmCF
'Til I let the light in
[Verse 4]
AmC
Oh, and I could not help but tremble
FC
I could not help but cry
AmC
There was something holy about it
GF
Just watching it die
AmCFC
Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes
AmEmFEmFG
Up from the ashes
AmCGC
Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise
[Refrain]
AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
AmCFC
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Outro]
AmCFC
So come, gather round, what will you lay to rest?
AmCGF
Whatever kills you slowly, don't give it one more breath
AmCF
Let it go, let it be, let it rest here in peace
AmCGC
Lay it down at the funeral for your past today
