Ruel - Let The Grass Grow

Capo: 5th fret

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
Em Am
I wait for the morning tide, the oceans to rise
G
But I lay here broken, too heavy to float
F C
I’m an emotionless wreck
Em Am
So I tell myself this lie, I’m not scared to die
G
Make mole hills of mountains, there’s gold in this ground
F
But I ain’t found it yet

[Pre-Chorus]
C
So I leave before you go
A#
‘Cause there’s no tears when it’s my fault
F G F
This self sabotage, all of our other scars don’t compare

[Chorus]
C
Take the river to the sea
Am
Drown myself so I don’t sink
G F
Find my peace there underneath, the hurricane
C
Break a promise so I can leave
Am
Burn a forest so I can sleep
G F
Lay my headstone, let the grass grow over me

C

[Verse 2]
Em Am
There’s nothing to fill this void

Start turning into sorrows
G
So I lay here soaking the sand in my bed
F
What a day to regret

[Pre-Chorus]
C
So I leave before you go
A#
‘Cause there’s no tears when it’s my fault
F G F
This self sabotage, all of our other scars don’t compare (Oh, oh)

[Chorus]
C
Take the river to the sea
Am
Drown myself so I don’t sink
G F
Find my peace there underneath, the hurricane
C
Break a promise so I can leave
Am
Burn a forest so I can sleep
G F
Lay my headstone, let the grass grow over me

C

[Outro]
Am
We didn’t make a difference
G
And we thought we were different
F
Hey, oh-oh
N.C.
Ooh-woah, ooh-woah
