I was born a choker

[Verse 3]
G                      D
Like a little splinter buried
in your skin
       C
Someone else can carve it out but
when you've got the pin
        G
It hurts a little less and
             D
you can even push it further in
          C
When your body's screamin' out,
trust your mind's listenin'
G                      D
Like a silhouette that you
can barely see
     C
As a shadow cast upon the ground
where you'll eventually
G
Lay forever, but the day goes on,
    D
the sun moves behind you
        C
You get taller, bolder, stronger and
the rearview only blinds you

[Outro]
C G Em D
     C G     Em
Mm-mm,  mm-mm,  mm-mm
