[Em] [G]
[Bm] [E] [A]
People have their own [G] journeys that they have with music,
and sometimes it's political, and sometimes it's anything,
but for [B] me, what I've found [Bm] is this really beautiful
and wonderful element of like, if you write music
that you really mean and you really feel
and you're not afraid to just share,
there's this magical quality
in how that resonates with people more.
And really, what that means to me is just like,
it highlights the commonalities that we have,
the things that we share, these personal things
that we may not articulate,
may not come up in the conversations that we have
day-to-day and the relationships that we have,
these things that happen internally,
and then we're able to articulate that and say,
hey, this is me, and everyone else can say,
yeah, that's me too, and then it just,
it brings people together in that way.
[G] That's how it works for me, I think.
[C] [G]
[E]
[C] [G]
[D] [E] He reads like a Bible and acts just like a birdcage
Roars like an engine, dying [C] out on [G] burnin' rage
You [C] [G]
[F#] [E] can blow out all the [Em] candles and fire up the limelight
She looks through him, [C] it's a cold canary [G] gaslight
[Em] [G]
Oh, sister, oh, now
Don't you [F#] look at what I have [E] done
Oh,
[C] [G]
[Em] [G] sister, oh, now
Don't [D] you look at what [E] I have done
[Em] The [C] [G]
[F#] [E] father's at the front door, dustin' off the floor mat
Bitter like his thick bark and tired [C] like his old [G] hat
He
[F#] [E] used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man
Said he walked on water when he was [G] dancin' on quicksand
Oh,
[C] [G]
father, oh, now
Don't you [D] look at what I [E] have done
[Em] Oh,
[C] [G]
[C] [G] father, oh, now
Don't you look at what I [E] have done

[C] [G]
[C] [Em]
[C] [G]
[C] [G] You
[C] [G] [Em]
[C] [G]
[D] [E] see me tearin' up the [Em] floorboards
White sheets covered you, fire in my eyes
And water [C] pourin' through the [G] roof
[C] [G]
And you [E] heard [Em] I found a mineshaft
Diggin' past midnight, crawled into the dark
It was a cold [C] canary [G] gaslight
[C] [G]
And [Em] I tried to throw a rope down and didn't feel it pull back
Dead canary chirpin' now, cold blood and pitch [G] black
[C] [G]
[E] [C] [G]
[Em]
[C] [G]
I said, oh, now
Oh, [Em] oh, now
I [C] [G]
