Five Years Down Chords - Driveways

Verse 1

C Put me down again C I was better dead G I was suffocating on the words I never said - I feel a F shovel break inside F I see the morning light and wonder Em why? You ripped me out of the C Ground! C When I awoke C Rigor mortis cold G I look at my surroundings, I don't see another soul Em The sky is tourmaline and amethyst and gray F A beautiful decay

Chorus

C Put my grave back Em Down, I know that you G Hate the way that F Sounds, I'm just sick of C nightmares and minor chords Em And chills down your spinal chord G Five years of trying for an F ends You ripped me out of the G ground

Verse 2

C I see the cemеtery gates C Surrounded by thе desolate that G I could never save G What made you rip me out of the F Ground C I see the street C Silhouettes appear G I feel a combination of hysteria and fear Em I feel a pulse in my heart like a tremor F I stop to remember it all

Chorus

C G Em F

Verse 3

C One of the silhouettes lingers and gestures for me to approach G My rigid movements seem like histrionics but still I feel tired and cold Em It shows me a stone mausoleum where candles are glowing inside F Inscribed on the walls are the words that describe every failure I've known in my life C But I don't see an epitaph C I don't see a name on display G I turn around to question that G But the silhouette had faded away Em The past is just a monument Em And I used to think it would k**l me F I put a grave on top of it F But every October I still see C Nothing short of nightmares C The sky seems G closer now, I still see those Em terrors in the night And I'm haunted by hindsight, F and ghosts I couldn't drown, I still feel those C skeletons creeping inside of my head Em In every epilogue I've read, seems like they never find the end F I wish I could hold it together F October forever G I'm part of it now G C We're five years down
