G Am This ain't no TV show G Am You watch my head explode Em F Ten thousand Em F hours every day G Am No time to be afraid G Am Chase up the rattle snakes Em F Don't let your fear Em F control your fate Dm C The ghost of self denial Dm C It whispers from the grave Dm C The road you can't rely on Em F Is a risk that you must take Chorus: Am I'm running across the tracks (And I'm never coming back) Oh, I'm running across the tracks (And I'm never coming back) C Pulling the blindfolds back F All we did in life Am I'm running across the tracks (And I'm never coming back) Oh, I'm running across the tracks (And I'm never coming back) C We're gonna escape F this trap Gotta get a life Stuck in this prison cell Just like a criminal I count the years that went to waste If this road goes to Hell I'm right back where I fell Made a career from my mistakes The ghost of self denial It whispers from the grave The road you can't rely on Could be your saving grace Chorus Am And every step that I aim to take (I fall behind I fall behind) C And every leg that I have to break F (These scars are mine These scars are mine) Am And everyday that I'd pray for you (I close my eyes I close my eyes) C At least I can say that we made it through Dm (The stars aligned The stars aligned) The stars aligned F The stars aligned Am F Am The stars aligned F And words just can't explain the struggle of a Am dead men's fight A dead mens fight F And silver spoons get by the wasted mother Am hard earns life A hard earns life F Every step that I aim to take (I fall behind I fall behind) Am And every leg that I have to break (These scars are mine These scars are mine) Dm And everyday that I'd pray for you F (I close my eyes I close my eyes) Am And I hope that you make it through Yeah I hope that G/B C you make through Am It's up to you! Chorus Am And every step that I aim to take (I fall behind I fall behind) C And every leg that I have to break F (These scars are mine These scars are mine) Am And everyday that I'd pray for you (I close my eyes I close my eyes) C At least I can say that we made it through F (The stars aligned The stars aligned) Am The stars aligned You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  F  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
