Verse 1It's a loCng way up from rock bottom
There's been times I felt I could fall further
I have loved and lost and feared and prayed
But now the AmdayGbursts CwildEmandFoCpen
I have Ccried tears at my brother's grave
I have shaken hands with my wife's surgeon
I spent weeks inside the darkest cage
But now the AmdayGbursts CwildEmandFoCpen
There's a tEmime to cFry, there's a tCime to fGold
There's a tEmime for Fholding on but then Clet it gGo.
There's a tEmime to rFun to the Carms of Ghope
And the AmdayGbursts CwildEmandopen.Am
Verse 2I was raised by the church
Quiet boy, still far from fizzlin'
Not the pop star they say they prefer
Kept quiet, but I came to be heard
FBeen a long time on top, but I ain't complacent
If I look down, I can see replacements
Late-night drive and my heartbeat racing
Gotta make dreams and chase 'em
AmTaking my fair share of that ridicule, but the words are not applicable
Catalog formidable, me and that guy are in a different Fplace
Undefeated but that's tempting fate
Two of them tried but I won both cases
Won't get back all the time they've wasted, I am not Glosing steam
AmIn this world there's no relaxing
I've been here since migraine skankin'
Never been cool, but never been a has-been
I kept on your couch if you knew me back then
FGo tell 'em bout the walls you're trapped in
Gotta keep this Usain pace
Don't ask me how to I got break
I built my own brick through constant playing
AmSB died, couldn't stop this pain
I look at the dots in space
I wonder if he's proud
Or thinks that his best friend lost his way
FKeep it together for my daughters, gotta come natural
I don't wanna force it
If it is not factual, don't support it
Every year I gotta re-swim these GwatersChorusDraw a Fline, for the sake of all your family and Gfriends
Draw a Amline, so history doesn't happeCn again
Draw a Fline, for the day to start the night Ghas to end
Draw a Amline, for all of these goals.C
Verse 3AmI'm too high to fly this plane
Too ****** to drive this Range
Can't remember the last time I was on my own without Kev, it's kind of strange
FNot being the same since nineteen
Never pushed Ly on a swing
I gotta wear disguises
I'm up for trading lives sometimes, and it may surprise 'em
AmEvery stadium, I've played it, but I would still do it for free
Gotta keep standards, top of the top of the tree
Press still got problems with me
FWhen school starts I might peace out, 'til then I keep chasing the dream
I could end it, but I don't wanna reach out
Cause he means nothing to me
Don't Amworry about what I make, don't trip them up to win this race
When your career's in a risky place
Everything seems like a big mistake
I'm still lFooking for **** to say
Deluding myself that they'll still relate
Depression I keep at bay, tomorrow is a different day
Me and that guy don't sAmpeak no more
And no bother he's not sure
So what is the reason for
My heart's been broke so many times by loved ones that I don't ever feel like talking
FSo heed that warning, circle keep getting smaller
All I need is Chez and my daughters and a few friends that help meChorusDraw a Fline, for the sake of your little girls aGnd their time
Draw a Amline, allow yourself some Cmoments to cry
Draw a Fline, and leave the past that Ghurt you behind
Draw a Amline, for all of these Cgoals
Draw a lFine, be grateful that you've been whGere you been
Draw a Amline, recognize the path that haCppened between
Draw a lFine, the future's here, there'sG yet to be seen
Draw a Amline (Draw a line).C
OutroThe day bursts wild and open

ChordsWorld Overview:

This song uses mostly easy open chords like C, Am, G, Em, and F, which are super friendly for beginners. The F chord can be tricky since it’s often played as a barre, so try the mini F shape if you’re struggling. Practice smooth transitions between Am, F, and G, since those changes come up a lot. Take it slow and let your fingers build muscle memory!

Verse 1: C, Am, G, Em, F
Verse 2: F, Am, G
Chorus: F, G, Am, C
Verse 3: Am, F
