Intro
Four measures of Dm (you might not want to play it that long)
Verse
Dm F
My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing,

'Cause I only recognize this shadow,
Bb A Bb
Kinda like a superhero with nobody's best interests in mind.

Verse
Dm F
Now there's blood in the waters, that I squeezed from this stone, here

You were so supportive as I drank through the pain.

You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.

It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.
