Backslide Chords & Tabs

[Intro]
              Am Em Am Em
I don't wanna-

[Verse 1]
Am                                     
Rat race, place to place, adding weight
Em                         
Tendencies on repeat, innit
Am                              
Benefit with a shoe with no lace
Em                                 
Take the seat with the crease on it
Am                          
I don't mind if it's lonely,
Em                       
I don't mind if it's fair
Am                           
I don't care, you control me,
Em                 
Leading me anywhere

[Chorus]
              Am                      Em           
I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from,
           G                         Am   
There's no chance I will shake this again,
                  F                     C    
'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head,
                    G            
Strength enough for one more time
               D            
Reach my hand above the tide
             F             
I'll take anything you have
                   C        
If you could throw me a line
            G                
I should've loved you better,
                  D             
Do you think that now's the time
N.C.
You should let go? It's over my head

[Verse 2]
Am                                 
Bad place on a hundred dollar bass,
Em                                       
Kind of wishing that I never did Saturday
          Am                       
"Is that a stain? You should change
                            Em                          
Are you doing good? Did you solve all of your problems?"
Thanks for asking, in a way but,
Am                                         
Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday,
     Em                                       
What happened to what I brushed under the rug,
          Am                                     Em  
I used to be the champion of the world you can't see,
Now I'm drowning in logistics

[Chorus]
              Am                      Em           
I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from,
           G                         Em   
There's no chance I will shake this again,
                  F                     C    
'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head,
                    G            
Strength enough for one more time
               D            
Reach my hand above the tide
             F             
I'll take anything you have
                   C        
If you could throw me a line
            G                
I should've loved you better,
                  D             
Do you think that now's the time
                   F                            
You should let go? (I don't mind if it's lonely)
             C                               
It's over my head (I don't mind if it's fair)
                    G                            
You should let go? (I don't care, you control me)
                   D                   
It's over my head (Leading me anywhere)

[Outro]
             F             
I'll take anything you have
                   C        
If you could throw me a line
            G                
I should've loved you better,
                  D             
Do you think that now's the time
                  F                 C
You should let go? It's over my head
                  G                 D
You should let go? It's over my head
              Am        EmAm Em
I don't wanna backslide...
