[Intro] D Bm A G
[Verse] D Bm Hope dangles on a string A G Like slow spinning redemption winding in and winding out D The shine of it has caught my eye And roped me in Bm A So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing A I am captivated...I am
[Chorus] D G Bm Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right A D I swear I knew it all along and I am flawed G But I am cleaning up so well Bm A I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
[Verse] D So clear Bm A Like the diamond in your ring cut to mirror your intentions G D Oversized and overwhelmed the shine of which has caught my eye Bm A And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated A I am certain now that I am
[Chorus] D G Bm Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right A D I swear I knew it all along and I am flawed G But I am cleaning up so well Bm A I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
[Bridge] G So turn Bm Up the corners of your lips A G Part them and feel my finger tips trace the moment, fall forever G Bm Defense is paper thin just one touch and I'd be in A A Too deep now to ever swim against the current D So let me slip away Bm So let me slip away A So let me slip away G So let me slip against the current D So let me slip away Bm So let me slip away A So let me slip away G So let me slip against the current
[Chorus] D G Bm Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right A D I swear I knew it all along and I am flawed G But I am cleaning up so well Bm A I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
[Outro] D Slight hope Bm It dangles on a string A Like slow spinning redemption
