[Chorus]
A#              Gm
See this in 3D, all lights
out for me
                      Dm
All lights out for me,
  Em  F    Am          A#
lightning strikes the beach
          Gm
Eighty degrees, warm it up for me
            Dm Em F      Am   A#
Finally free, found the God in me
                   Gm
And I want you to see,
I can walk on water
                       Dm
Thousand miles from shore,
Em      F      Am   A#
 I can float on the water
Am        C   Am   Gm
Father, hold me close,
  Gm   Am  C   Gm
don't let me drown
I know you won't

[Verse 1]
Dm Em F              Am
Yeah, walkin' on the bridge,
           A#
I threw my sins over the deep end
Sippin' 'til my stomach hurt,
      Gm
this month I done lost three friends
Early mornin', brainstormin',
normally I can't sleep in
                              Dm
Sometimes I just wanna restart it,
            Em      F
but it all depends
     Am
If I'ma be that same young,
      A#
hungry **** from West End
                                   Gm
Wrote my hardest wrongs and the crazy
part, I ain't have no pen
Maybach interior camе with sheepskin
Still remember whеn
I just had three bands
Dm               Em        F
Now I'm the one everyone call on
      Am
'cause I got deep pants
A#
Bro told me to wait to beat the game,
it's only defense and
Gm
Never fazed by names that they might
call me, but they gon' respect it
And I feel like you better off tryin'
to call, I might not get the message
Dm                 Em               F
She just tried to run off with my heart,
               Am       A#
but I blocked off the exit, yeah

[Verse 2]
              Gm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, I was out for self
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, I was up for sale,
but I couldn't tell
Dm           Em
God made it rain,
      F            Am
the devil made it hail
A#
Dropped out of school,
but I'm that one at Yale
Gm
Made the best tracks and
still went off the rail
Had to go down, down, down,
this the new town, town, town
              Dm
This the new ten, ten,
    Em    F       Am
ten, I'm goin' in, in, in
        A#
Here I go on a new trip,
here I go actin' too lit
         Gm
Here I go actin' too rich,
here I go with a new chick
And I know what the truth is,
still playin' after two kids
         Dm        Em
It's a lot to digest when
        F           Am
your life always movin'
A#
Architectural Digest,
but I needed home improvement
          Gm
Sixty-million-dollar home,
never went home to it
Genius gone clueless,
it's a whole lot to risk
     Dm    Em
Alcohol anonymous,
F              Am
who's the busiest loser?
 A#
Heated by the rumors,
read into it too much
Gm
Fiendin' for some true love,
ask Kim, "What do you love?"
Hard to find what the truth is,
but the truth was that the truth suck
        Dm    Em
Always seem to do stuff,
          F                 Am
but this time it was too much
A#
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm,
everybody so judgemental
Gm
Everybody so judgemental
Everybody hurts,
but I don't judge rentals
     Dm   Em        F      Am
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, it was all so simple

A#           Gm
I see you in 3D,
the dawn is bright for me
                    Dm Em F
No more dark for me, I know
Am
You're watchin' me
A#        Gm
Eighty degrees,
burnin' up the leaves
               Dm
Finally, I'm free,
 Em    F      A
finally, I'm free
A#           Gm
As I go out to sea,
I can walk on water
                        Dm
Won't you shine Your light?

Demons stuck on my shoulder
