Swords and Pens Lyrics

Intro: F# C#/F F# C#/F F# C#/F Bbm G# x5 F# G# Bbm
Verse 1:
Shovel the coal in
this fire ignite
and conspire Still
doesn't mean that
I'm not in your head
I'm falling in and
out again Slipped up
and cared too much
again I must wake up
move on and mend
Instead of wasting
so much time here
Verse 3:
Cause I've grown up
only to hate my own
bed I figure I'll
just sleep when I'm
dead Despite what you
heard I know what I
said I understand it
was harsh but guess
what? I'm falling
in and out again
Interlude:
C#/F F# C#/F F# G# Bbm G# x2
Chorus 1:
Put yourself in my
place for just one
day Watch all the
colors in your
spectrum fade grey
More aware than ever
that I might never
be calm again And it
shakes every f**king
bone Trying to do the
right thing on my own
So I let the ink tell
you how I come to grips
with all of this
I'm getting too
old for this
Verse 3:
What do you know
my shoes are my own
Tread the granite
till you find
some kind of place
F# C#/F F# C#/F F# C#(hold)
to call home
Chorus 2:
Put yourself in my
place for just one
day Watch all the
colors in your
spectrum fade grey
More aware than ever
that I might never
be calm again And it
shakes every f**king
bone Trying to do the
right thing on my own
So I let the ink tell
you how I come to grips
with all of this
Post Chorus:
Outro:
We're never gonna
be the same again
Bury me I'm not
your friend You
have your sword
I've got my pen
Measuring might
is a means to an
end We're never
gonna be the same
again Bury me
I'm not your friend
Not broke
Bbm G# F#(hold)
just bent
