EmGCEm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
GCGEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
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?
EmG
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
C
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
EmG
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
C
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears
EmG
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas
C
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
EmG
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
C
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
EmG
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
EmG
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
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
GCEm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
GCEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
GC
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
GC
Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep
EmG
The greatest fear that I've ever kept
C
Is dying with regrets
EmG
Like was I just alive for success?
CEm
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
G
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
CEm
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
G
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
C
My greatest achievement is my daughter
EmG
Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father
C
Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids
EmG
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
EmG
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
C
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
G
Excavate
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
GCEm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
GCEm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
GC
And I found peace
Em
And I found peace
GC
And I found peace
Em
And i found peace
[Outro: Macklemore]
GC
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
EmGC
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
EmGC
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
EmGC
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
GC
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
EmGC
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
EmGC
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
EmGC
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
GCEm
