[Fmaj7] [C] [G] [Em] [E7] [Am]
[Fmaj7] [C] [G] [Em] [E7] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
[Fmaj7]Blistered feet and shattered heart,
[C]Callused fingers from guitar,
There's an [G]end and I'm here [Em]to show
[E7]you the [Am]way,

[Fmaj7]There's weakness inside all of us,
[C]But it turns into a strength because,
[G]You just have to [Em]take it [E7]day by [Am]day,

[Fmaj7]We all get by and make mistakes
[C]Trust me, you just have to take,
A [G]deeper listen [Em]to the [E7]words I [Am]say,

[Fmaj7]There's wisdom written on these walls,
[C]But stubbornly you take your falls,
Cus [G]deep down you don't [Em]know [E7]another
[Am]way,

Your [Fmaj7]anger boils deep within,
The [C]wheel within you stops its spin,
Sit [G]back and watch while [Em]your soul
[E7]starts to [Am]fray,

With [Fmaj7]all your good intentions in,
You [C]think there's now way you will win,
And [G]stand here just to [Em]throw it [E7]all
aw[Am]ay,

(1 min.)
[CHORUS]
[Fmaj7]Aya-yah, Aya-yeh,
[C]All my life, they've cursed that day
Way [G]back in '9[Em]3, 1[E7]4th of May.

[VERSE 2]

[Fmaj7]Isolate yourself from us,
And [C]bind to solitude just to
Dis[G]sociate your[Em]self from [E7]the mun[Am]dane

[Fmaj7]My ledger's full and written red
[C]And like the Man in Black once said,
Every[G]body will be [Em]treated [E7]all the [Am]same

[Fmaj7]Been blackmailed for my silence,
[C]Now I just remember violence,
And [G]by this point now a[Em]ll I [E7]know is
[Am]pain

[Fmaj7]Beneath this heart as black as coal,
[C]A fire's burning in my soul,
And [G]within your warm hands [Em]now there
[E7]lies the [Am]flame

For [Fmaj7]I will not go to their door
[C]Won't bow now, didn't bow before
Cus [G]I don't seek for [Em]riches [E7]or for
[Am]fame

[Fmaj7]I'll walk to beats of broken drums
[C]And if you want me to, I'll break my thumbs,
And [G]serenade you [Em]through these [E7]broken
[Am]strings

[Fmaj7]My body's frozen here in place,
While [C]my mind wanders into space
My [G]brain just can't take [Em]anym[E7]ore to[Am]day

[Fmaj7]You ask of things for me to lend,
[C]Under the guise that you're my friend,
But I [G]didn't care e[Em]nough to [E7]get your
[Am]name

Don't [Fmaj7]bully me and tell me how
I'[C]m not worth all your troubles now
Cus I [G]was nothing before [Em]i met [E7]you
that [Am]day

[Fmaj7]Intentions aren't so crystal clear,
[C]Reactions are my biggest fear
And [G]my path is not [Em]something I[E7] can
[Am]gauge

[Fmaj7]Forth not back, you've come so far
[C]Stay your course, forget the stars
[G] [Em] Ey [Am]
Cus time moves in a single linear way

[Fmaj7]At every turn your soul's attacked
[C]The weight all falls onto your back
Just [G]to keep the [Em]bad fee[E7]lings at [Am]bay

[Fmaj7]Spent years avoiding prying eyes
While [C]bad habits poisoned my life
The [G]pattern's there to [Em]draw their [E7]eyes
a[Am]way

No [Fmaj7]longer will your words have away,
I [C]will not bow, I won't obey
It's my [G]narrative, this s[Em]tory [E7]goes my
[Am]way

[CHORUS]
[Fmaj7]Aya-yah, Aya-yeh,
[C]All my life, they've cursed that day
Way [G]back in '9[Em]3, 1[E7]4th of May.

[Fmaj7]They cut you down to be the best,
2[C]1 guns pointed at your chest
You [G]really should have [Em]not come [E7]out to
[Am]play
