Penitence Chords by Ren

[Start]

[Verse]
N.C.                     
Lately I think I was over
F                              
Time in my chest beating slower


[Chorus]
G                                 Fmaj7     
Like the clouds see color of them fading out
Dm7        Am7
Fading out ■  
Am                                 Dm7               
Ooh the heavy heart I carried went ■   over your head
Ab       F    Cm
And over mine ■ 


[Intro]

[Verse]
                            Bb             
I counted the days she left like a prisoner
Cm                                            Fm7       
Etching markings on my skin with an old knife scratching
Cm                                            Bb           
■  You see I wanted the physical to match the psychological
    Cm                                                   F         Cm
And yet no matter how hard I dug I still could not match that pain ■ 
  Cm                                   
I longed for reasons I sung with demons
  Cm                                              
I sat in a dark dusty room barely moving breathing
  Cm7                                         Cm          
I chewed threw my own umbilical cord attached to her naval
Cm                     
I wanted to be separate


[Chorus]
Ab Bb F7 Fsus4
■  ■  ■  ■    
Ebmaj7 Eb Abmaj7 F7                
Ooh oh I  think  my mind is leaking
                Fm7         
Ooh solitude is so depleting
  Eb              
I did it to myself
       Eb                    
I know that you were faithful
Eb                    
I did it for my health
             Eb            
How come I'm still unstable
                    Eb  
And fallen far from help
Eb              
A suicidal angel
Cm Bb Ab Eb
■  ■  ■  ■ 
                 Ab      
Exhaust my wings and fell
Cm      Bb Abmaj7 Ab Eb           
Falling ■  so     ■  ■  ungraceful
              Ab   Gm
Banished into hell ■ 
            Gm           Cm    
I wish that I could stop crying


[Verse]
                  Eb               Gm   
They say that the body is seventy% water
  Cm                                    Bb                   
I feel like I must've reduced mine by a considerable fraction
Gm             Cm                
Newton's Third Theory states that
                               Cm      
For every action there must be an equal
             Gm              Cm
And opposite counterreaction ■ 
    Cm                    
And so I retraced my steps
    Bb                         G7               
And try to find reasons in the arms of my demons
                                 Cm                
'cause I can't find healing if I can't find meaning
                          G7                
A conundrum leaning on my dumb numb feelings
     Cm                                           
Have a noose highbeaming when I hung from ceilings
                                G7                    Cm    
When I run from demons that are living in my head and escape
Cm                 
Fate and disaparate
Cm                
Evaporate evacuate
G7       Cm      
And then activate
Cm                        
Fate but it cut the breaks
        Cm                             
Now I'm driving my universe into a lake
        Cm                                   
And the weight weight of the world don't wait
                           G7          
We make mistakes when it's all at stake
    Cm                          
For goodness sakes a double take
Cm                               
But I don't want to eat that cake
  Cm                     
I ruminate inside meaning
                Gm       
To illuminate a dark mind
  Cm                          
I communicate without speaking
         Cm                            
And I've seen so much I went blind eyed


[Chorus]
Cm                  
Why I'm living a lie
Ebmaj7            Gm7            
Living a lie with the lion inside
Cm                               
Living a lie with the lion inside
       Eb                Gm7               
And my mind it is hungry it's hungry for my
Cm                
Sanity my sanity I
                      Gm         
Living a lie with the lion inside
Cm                               
Living a lie with the lion inside
                                     Ab 
And my mind it is hungry and I don't why
Cm           
Pressure drop
     Eb     
Deep breathe
Cm        
Time stops
  Bb        Gm             Cm 
A broken et cetera dot dot dot
Eb           
Pressure drop
Eb           
Pressure drop
Cm           
Pressure drop


[Verse]
                    Eb          
I feel it consuming I can't stop
Cm                                 
Dot dot dot the lines join the dots
        Cm         
And I'm tying knots
    Gm                 
And divide and multiply
Cm                   
Square the root of Pi
Cm             
Beat the puzzle
  Ebmaj7           Gm7                     
I tried to keep my mind focused on the line
Ab                     
Hopscotch and Pop Rocks
  Eb                      
I take shots of tear drops
Cm                    
When I drop a pill pop
  Eb                  N.C. 
I find peace and time stops
