[D] [A] .
[Bm] I [G] move on [D] like a sinner's prayer I let go [A] like a levee breaks.
Walk away as [Bm] if I don't care Learn to [G] shunner my mistakes.
I'm built to fade [D] like your favorite song Get reckless [A] when there's no need.
Laugh as your [Bm] stories ramble on Break my heart [G] but it won't bleed.
My only [Bm] friends are pirates It's just who [A] I am.
But [G] I'm better as [A] a merrian [D] than as your man.
I'm never sure when the truth won't do I'm pretty good [A] on a lonely night.
I move on the [Bm] way a storm blows through I never stay but [G] then again I might.
I struggle [D] sometimes to find the words I'm always sure [A] until I doubt.
Walk a line [Bm] until it blurs Build walls too [G] high to climb out.

[Em] You should know it before it gets [A] too late.
Cause goodbyes are [D] like a roulette wheel You never know [A] where they're gonna land.
First you're spinning [Bm] then you're standing still.
Left holding [G] a losing hand But one day [D] you're gonna find someone.
And right away [A] you'll know it's true That all [Bm] of your seeking's done.
Was just a part [G] of the passing through Right there in [Bm] that moment.
