Macklemore - Excavate Chords

[Chorus: Saint Claire]
Bb                 Eb                Gm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Bb                 Eb              Gm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
 
 
[Verse 1: Macklemore]
Bb
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it
Eb
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written?
Gm
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body
 
It's the vessel like I'm not in it
Bb
In fifty-something years, I won't be here
Eb
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears
Gm
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas
 
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror
Bb
What you looking for? What you headed towards?
Eb
What's your name worth when they mention yours?
Gm
When you leave here, are you stepping forward?
Gm/Eb
Can you remember your intention when they question yours?
Bb
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours
Eb
I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North
Gm
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for?
Gm/Eb
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours

[Chorus: Saint Claire]
Bb                Eb                 Gm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Bb                Eb              Gm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
Bb                Eb
And I found peace
Gm
And I found peace
Bb
And I found peace
 
 
[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Bb
I had this vision of my death
Eb
Surrounded by people I love and respect
Gm
In the baby blue Cadillac hearse
Gm/Eb
Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep
Gm                                  Gm/D
The greatest fear that I've ever kept
Gm/Eb
Is dying with regrets
Gm                                 Gm/D
Like was I just alive for success?
Gm/Eb
Or did I leave a better life for the rest?
Bb
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars
Eb
My greatest achievement isn't the followers
Gm
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades
Gm/Eb
My greatest achievement is my daughter
Bb
Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father
Eb
Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids
Gm
Hearin' her sing along to Chance
Gm/Eb
And bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid"
Bb
The light started to glow
         Eb
And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow
         Gm
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones
        Gm/Eb
Couple miles to go before I run out of road
Bb
Excavate
 
 
[Chorus: Saint Claire]
                   Eb               Gm
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away
Bb                 Eb             Gm
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain
Bb                Eb
And I found peace
Gm
And I found peace
Bb
And I found peace
 
 
[Outro: Macklemore]
                               Eb
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
Gm
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
Bb                                  Eb
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
Gm
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
Bb                                 Eb
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me
 Gm
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read
 Bb                                 Eb
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave
Gm
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me?
 Bb                Eb Gm
