Gm        F
It was fun, playin' with knives
D#
Until a blade
              Gm               F
Stuck in the left side of my chest
     D#   F
Surprise

I turned the page
The story's mine
No more watchin'
 the world from my doorstep passin' me by
(Passin' me by)

    D#            F
And I just keep changing'
       Gm                      A#
These colors, colors, colors, colors
    D#                F
I'm not in the same place
     Gm
That I was, I was, I was, I was

Chorus:
        D#
But if somebody tells me
         F
I'll go back to my old ways
     Gm
I'm gonna say no way
     A#
I'm out of the doorway
     D#
I'm hearin' them all say
         F                 Gm
I'll go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways

Gm
Not goin' back to my old ways
Gm
(Not goin' back to my old ways)

Now I know what's good for me
All that I need
And I can't wait to sink my teeth
in and take another bite
And the best part about it is

I'm the only one who can do somethin' about it
I fill the well with some water, it's overflowin'
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds?

And I just keep changin'
these colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
that I was, I was, I was, I was

Chorus

Not goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)

D#        F
Every scar
           Gm           A#
The flames burn the mark
          D#          F
I'm not afraid to fall
         Gm
I'm spiraling
I'm spiralling

   D#           F
I pass the stars
        Gm         A#
I'm not burning out
          D#          F
I'm not afraid to fall
          Gm
I'm not afraid anymore

And I just keep changin' my colors
I'm not in the same place that I was, I was
(And the best part about it is
I'm the only who can do somethin' about it
I fill the well with some water,
it's overflowin')
Black into gold
Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds?

And I just keep changin' (changin')
these colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place (same place)
that I was, I was, I was, I was

Chorus:
But if somebody tells me I'll
go back to my old ways (old ways)
I'm gonna say "no way" (no way)
I'm out of the doorway (no way)
I'm hearin' them all say I'll
go back to my old ways
Not goin' back to my old ways
