Tom: D
D A Bm G
[Verse 1]
D
'Til death do us part, at birth from the start
A
There's a swell in my heart that you can't tear apart
Bm
Even when the world's gone dark we bear witness
G
To strength underneath of the stress
D
A self-religion that we all have
Some call it animalistic
A
A lion in the face of defeat turns to existence
Bm
When self-preservation is sweeping across the nation
G N.C.
We need a congregation and this is my public statement
[Chorus]
D A
I'm walking down parallel lines
Bm
Trying to break out this time
G
I'm in it for the fight
D
Everything's fine
A
I'm having the time of my life
Bm
Walking on parallel lines
G
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion
[Verse 2]
D
It comes as no surprise as we're facing our demise
A
We need to look inside and finally recognize that
Bm
We're human, yes, but we don't have to accept
G
This level of self-regret I'm trying to self-reflect
D
I'm pent up in my cage I can waste away these days
A
Or I can spend these moments developing higher faith
Bm
In myself and my friends, my parents and my siblings
G N.C.
There is no better time I'm trying to say this simply
[Chorus]
D A
I'm walking down parallel lines
Bm
Trying to break out this time
G
I'm in it for the fight
D
Everything's fine
A
I'm having the time of my life
Bm
Walking on parallel lines
G
Not afraid of dying, I'm a lion
[Bridge]
D
Some days I can barely wait
A
Just to walk through Heaven's gates
Bm G
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
D
Where many come and many go
A
When will we leave? We never know
Bm
Our names are written on a stone
G
So, we won't pass alone
D
Some days I can barely wait
A
Just to walk through Heaven's gates
Bm G
I close my eyes and contemplate a land that's far away
D
Where many come and many go
A
When will we leave? We never know
Bm
Our names are written on a stone
G
So, we won't pass alone
[Outro]
D
When I pass leave my casket open
A
And send it out to the ocean
Bm
I just want to feel alive with the motion
G
I just want to feel alive with the motion
D
When I pass leave my casket open
A
And send it out to the ocean
Bm
I just want to feel alive with the motion
G D
I just want to feel alive with the motion
