Reclaiming My Time
A
Blame it all on those times I said yes
A
And should have said no
A
Blame it all on those times I stayed late
A
And really wanted to go
E A
But now I’m taking back what it mine
A
Blame it all on those times I played small
A
So you could think I was less you were more
A
Now I’m up from the floor I’m back from the brink
E A
And I’m taking back what is mine
D A
I’m not wasting my time anymore
D A
Trying to be the thing you want me to be
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking
E A
Through that door and I’m reclaiming my time
A
Blame it all on those times I made nice just to not let show
A
Well it’s twice the crime to keep it inside
A
Keep it locked up under control
E
But now I’m taking back what is mine
A
Blame it all on those times bit my tongue
A
Didn’t speak my mind
A
Kept my head down mouth shut went along for the ride
E A
But now I’m taking back what is mine
D A
You can call me vinegar but I know I’m wine
D A
I’m dark, sophisticated, warm, deeply sublime
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking through that door
E A
And I’m reclaiming my time
A
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
I’m reclaiming my time
D A
I’m not wasting anymore on you
D A
Trying to be the thing you think I should be
D A
I’m standing up, I’m getting up, I’m walking through that door
E A
And I’m reclaiming my time
E A
I’m reclaiming my time

Carry On
C
Set ‘em up, set ‘em up

One by one see them run

Until the chain breaks them to crawl

We’re no strangers to how it’s played
C G
Still we carry on
C Em
Slip beneath these iron weights
C B7
Over our heads, under the gun
Em
We carry on
C
Breathing close, breathing close
Em
Behind your back swagger

Heel to toe eyes closed
Em G
Breathing in what I need most

I’m not safe but you’re dangerous

Still we carry on

A fine line exchange between us

Over our heads under the gun

We carry on

Over our heads under the gun

Over our heads under

In over our heads

We carry on

You’ll never hurt me locked in your crosshairs

Brave isn’t how you want me to be

Your fears can’t hurt me

And you can’t bear ‘cause brave’s the only way I can be
C B7 Em
Brave is the only way I can be

Run it back, run it back
Em
When we stood at the line

Coming up coming up

Always reckless with our time

If I knew then what I know now

Would I have carried on
C Em
Hearts blazing, raging loudly
C B7
Over our heads, under the gun

We carry on

Over our heads, under the gun we carry on

Come Down
F Am
We headed in to night kept our eyes low
C G
As the wind rose high and the curtain fell on
F Am
All we thought we wanted to become
C G
Before we could ever know
F Am G
What we would become
Am C G
I will not be afraid
F Am
Turn your collar and twist that gate latch twice
C G
Batten the hatches down and pray everything’s alright
F Am C G
When we’ve lost all direction home and can’t give up the fight
F Am G
What do we become
Am C G
I will not be afraid
Am C G
I will not be afraid

Come down Lover you know there’s no other

In it to win the war
Instrumental

In that breath when it’s all almost alright

And the sky grows dim and fades to morning light

And we breathe to know we have survived

Yet there’s still so much to come
F Am G
When we see what we become
Am C G
I will not be afraid
Am C G
I will not be afraid

Come down Lover you know there’s no other

In it to win the war

In it to win the war

In it to win the war
