Surviving On Defiance

[Verse]:
Ebmaj7
When I run
                             Abmaj7
You won't find me tracing my steps
Abmaj7
From what I wanted
Ebmaj7                      Abmaj7
All the horrors you made so real
Abmaj7
Burned in mind as promised

[Pre-Chorus]:
Cm
If I'm living, know I'm half-alive
Ab
I'm surviving on defiance

[Chorus]:
Eb                  Abmaj7
I'm fighting in the wake
               Cm
Unfettered, so maybe flowers
      Abmaj7        Eb
Will bloom for me again
                 Abmaj7
The mirror in my face
                      Cm
She's screaming for blood and violence
        Abmaj7               Ebmaj7
But it's my time to pretend

[Verse 2]:
      Ebmaj7
As it was
                         Abmaj7
I was losing myself to a fear
Abmaj7
As a bittered constant
Ebmaj7                        Abmaj7
Oh, I refuse to know you from here
Abmaj7
I'm a tempered object

[Pre-Chorus]:
Cm
While the future's still looking bright
Ab
I'm surviving on defiance

[Chorus]:
Eb                  Abmaj7
I'm fighting in the wake
               Cm
Unfettered, so maybe flowers
      Abmaj7        Eb
Will bloom for me again
                 Abmaj7
The mirror in my face
                      Cm
She's screaming for blood and violence
         Abmaj7
But it's my time to pretend

[Instrumental]:
Eb Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7

[Outro]:
Abmaj7   Eb
So run
