Verse 1
Em          D
  It was fun, playin' with knives
C
  Until a blade
D              Em               D
  Stuck in the left side of my chest
     C    D
Surprise
Em                   D
  And I'm down again, I turn the page
C
  The story's mine
D         Em                         D
  No more watchin' the world from my doorstep
           C   D
Passin' me by

Pre-Chorus
    C           D
And I just keep changing'
      Em                      G
These colors, colors, colors, colors
    C               D
I'm not in the same place
     Em                  G
That I was, I was, I was, I was

Chorus
       C
But if somebody tells me
        D
I'll go back to my old ways
    Em
I'm gonna say no way
    G
I'm out of the doorway
    C
I'm hearin' them all say
        D                   Em
I'll go back to my old ways
          *Pause*
Not goin' back to my old ways

Post-Chorus
Em
Not goin' back to my old ways
Em
(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Verse 2
Em           D
  Now I know,  what's good for me
C
  All that I need
D             Em              D
  And I can't wait to sink my teeth in
             C        D
And take another bite
        Em                 D
And the best part about it
                            C                     D
Is I'm the only one who can do somethin' about it
                     Em                            D
I fill the well with some water , it's overflowing'
           C
Black into gold
                    D
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds

    C           D
And I just keep changing'
      Em                      G

    C               D
I'm not in the same place
     Em                  G
That I was, I was, I was, I was

Chorus

Bridge
C          D
Every scar
           Em             G
The flames burn the mark
        C              D
I'm not afraid to fall
              Em
I'm spiraling
I'm spiralling
  C              D
I pass the stars
        Em          G
I'm not burning out
        C              D
I'm not afraid to fall 
        Em
I'm not afraid anymore

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was
