Destroyer

Am
Am
G
I want to be the king of my body and mind
Dm
Em
F
Gravity, let me go
Am
G
Before it bruises and blackens me and you
Dm
Em
F
Bury me in the glow
Am
G
And I find sorrow in idle minds
Dm
Em
F
And solace in being heard
Am
You better run, boy, run, but be afraid
G
Cry, boy, cry, don’t play the game
Dm
Em
F
Gravity holds me down
Am
F
And it’s taking over
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
Am
F
You are my destroyer
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
Am
G
A light shines through a cloud of colour fumes
Dm
Em
F
Gravity, let me go
Am
G
So I can feel the warmth of the sun
Dm
Em
F
Bury me in the glow
Am
You better run, boy, run, but be afraid
G
Cry, boy, cry, don’t play the game
Dm
Em
F
Gravity holds me down
Am
F
And it’s taking over
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
Am
F
You are my destroyer
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
Am
F
And it’s taking over
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
Am
F
You are my destroyer
C
I call everywhere, oh
G
I cry out
