Chords for Locksmith - "Lessons" feat. Braden Blair (Official Music Video)

_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] So long, so [B] long, [Ebm] how do I say so long?
[Bb] Maybe it takes [Ebm] so long, to go on
[Eb] So [B] long, so long, whoa, [Bb] _
whoa, [Ebm] whoa, whoa
_ _ [Eb] _
Such a beautiful [B] setting, life's good, my music's finally [Ab] spreading
Looking [Bb] back on the time when I [B] wasn't getting the recognition deserved
But I'm [Ebm] hanging on by a threading, I'm [Eb] letting go of the guilt and the pain that I once [B] carried
Could've been a victim myself, but escaped barely
I [Bb] rarely make excuses, look what he [B] endured
My girl left the same week I had [Ebm] to leave on tour, [Eb] damn
And they say that it's perfect [B] timing
Just think of all the women you meet in them cities rhyming
But [Bb] I'm lying if I said I was over it right [B] away
Cause everything you do in dark comes out in the light of day
I had [Eb] to readjust my thoughts, put me [B] first
I lost myself and my relationship, it could be worse
But [Bb] instead he works with more passion than [B] I started with
Rather say it now than resent you because I harbored it
[Eb] Guarded by my goals, blinded through what [Ebm] I'm searching for
Lost a couple friends, but it's something more that I'm working [Ab] towards
Certain reward that you get when you just [Ebm] forget to care
Chasing down someone that's chasing something that isn't [Bb] there
And to myself it [Ebm] just isn't fair
We all deserve to be happy, I mean who isn't [Ab] scared?
It's for my niggas still with me that's [Ebm] bearing this
What good is having success when there's no one to share it with?
So long, [Gb] so long
How do I stay [Abm] so long?
[Bb] No matter what it takes so [B] long
No matter what it takes so [Abm] long No more
[Ab] _ _ [B] Hurting
And we just [Bb] _
[B] go
_ Yeah
_ And it feels like it's more than I can handle
[Bb] So what am I supposed to do when [B] life loops like a sample?
And I throw away [Gb] my crutch and I try to clutch what [Ab] is canceled
Nothing left there but [B] despair and no one substantial
And people only see what they want to see [Bb] when they want to
I try not to judge cause you never know what [Gb] they going through
Going through what is possibly just [Abm] a phase
Are these rappers better [Eb] than me?
I would contemplate it for days
I [Abm] stayed in my place, unaware of [Ebm] the damage
When you loyal to a fault, some people will take advantage
I [Abm] managed to get out of the deal I was once [Ebm] in
So what makes you think I would rush to do it again?
[Bb] If I ever look back, that's the moment I [Ebm] stumble
There's a very thin line between insecure and humble
Between cocky and confident
But I'm still here so I take both as a compliment
[Eb] So long, [Gb] so long
How do I stay so long?
[Bb] No matter what it takes [Gb] so long
No matter what it takes so long
No [Eb] _ more
[Gb] _ [B] Hurting
And we just [Bb] _
[B] go
_ _ _ [Eb] So long, [B] so long
How do I stay so [Eb] long?
No matter what it takes [B] so long
No matter what it takes so long
[Eb] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] Hurting
And we just [Bb] _
[B] go _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
