Into: C-G-Am-F 2x

Verse 1:
C          G              Am         F
I've been down, I've been out
                    C
I did it all on my own
        G      Am      F  
Seems growing up 
        C
Didn't take long 
         G              Am          F
I feel strange, I feel good 
                C
I feel better with you 
    G             Am         F
You've changed, you should 
                  C
Cause I think I did too 


 G            Am      F  
Made my mistakes 
                     C
I did a few things right
        G                 Am        F
But it will take what it will take 
              C
Baby, that's life 
        G                  Am        F
You cannot change what you do not own 
            C
Everybody knows 
        G                 Am         F
But if you live deep and love strong 

Refrain:
                     Am
You get pretty damn close 
          G            F       
It moves fast and it scares me 
Am            G          F            F    
I close my eyes, oh but I still see 

Chorus:
            C
I'm fading in and out 
                            G 
What are you supposed to do save me now
                             Am 
From all of this danger you don't know how 
                     F
And I'll find my way out 
          C
When I'm in the red 
                        G
Listening to strangers inside my head 
                       Am
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
                F (hold)
I still see everything you said 
Crimson in red 

C-G-Am-F 2x

Verse 2: C-G-Am-F
I shake and I smile 
Cause you said 
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad 
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more 
What are you waiting for 
How you love is who you are 

Refrain 2: Am-G-F
I dive in and I sink in 
And I find new colors to think in 

Chorus: C-G-Am-F
I'm fading in and out 
What are you supposed to do save me know 
From all of this danger you don't know how 
And I'll find my way out 
When I'm in the red 
Listening to strangers inside my head 
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
I still see everything you said 
Crimson in red 

Bridge: Am-G-C-F
In the distance is a line defining where I've been 
Rhe state I'm in 
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been 
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars 
Everything they said 
Painted in red 
Painted in red
Painted in red


Chorus: C-G-Am-F
I am fading in and out 
What are you gonna do save me know 
From all of this danger you don't know how 
I'll find my way out 
When I'm in the red 
Listening to strangers inside my head 
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
I still see what you said 

C-G-Am-F
What are you gonna do 
No way for you to save me 
What are you gonna do 
Everything that you gave me 
Is painted in red
