  Ab                     Absus4  Ab           
Remember the way that we used to get around, 
Ab                   Absus4    Ab         
all of the people we wanted to be?
Ab                       Absus4    Ab                   
All of the masks that we wore kept breaking down,
Ab                Absus4   Ab                          
running away from our history.

Hitting the ground on your own two feet
