The Mask Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l, [D]I felt the burn
Since the day you departed
and talked from the tomb
[G]I'm still hea[D]ling those wounds
And it holds me down
But made me a man that says,
"Fuck all those [G]rules
I [D]will be who I choose"

[Verse 2]
It's a lonely [A]road
[D]With one gri[Bm]p on severa[D]l psa[G]lms
and one grip on [D]the gun
And it holds [A]the rope
That [D]spins me in [Bm]circles and
[D]dizzies my hea[G]d
Then says sleep [D]when you're
dead
[A][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Were you ever here?
[A]Or just los[D]t on the surfac[Bm]e
that at [D]the first [G]touch
Just evades in [D]the dust
And it pulled me [A]down
And [D]showed me my [Bm]demons
lined up [D]in [G]the secrets
Forming [D]a crowd
It was so [A]long
With a [Bm]piece of [D]happy [G]home
that they stripped [D]from the bone
I did not react
[A]I settled my gri[Bm]evance
[D]by crafting the mask
[G]And I never loo[D]ked bac[A]k
[Bm][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][A][Bm]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Tell me what you [A]know[D]
I'm in [Bm]deeper [G]than [A]I've ever [G]been
I will never [A]grow
While this [Bm]anchor is [A]chained
to my [G]feet[F#m]
Tell me [G]what you [F#m]know[A]
[F#m]I'm in deeper[Bm] than I've
[D]ever [G]been[F#m]
I will [G]never [F#m]grow[A]
[F#m]While this an[Bm]chor is chained
[D]to my [G]feet[F#m]
Tell me [G]what you [F#m]know
[A]I set[D]tled my [F#m]grievance[Bm]
[D]by crafting the mask
[G]And I nev[F#m]er looked
[D]I will [G]never [D]grow
[A]I set[D]tled my [F#m]grieva[D]nce[Bm]
[D]by crafting the mask
[G]And I never looked
[D]Tell me [G]what [D]you know
[A]I set[F#m]tled my gri[D]evanc[Bm]e
[D]by crafting the mask
[G]And I nev[F#m]er looked
[D]I will nev[G]er gro[D]w
[A]I set[D]tled my [F#m]grievance[Bm]
[D]by crafting the mask
[G]And I never [D]looked back
