Shadowboxing by Julien Baker
Shadowboxing
Capo:no capo
[Opening]
F#m A D Bm
[Verse 1]
F#m A D
Born cutting teeth on the curb
F#m A D Bm
Summoning ghosts up from the concrete
F#m A D Bm
Keep me company while I learn
F#m A
Shadowboxing with giants
D Bm
Grew from our feet
[Verse 2]
F#m A D
I know that you don't understand
F#m A D
'Cause you don't believe what you don't see
Bm F#m A D Bm
When you watch me throwing punches at the devil
F#m A D
It just looks like I'm fighting with me
[Verse 3]
F#m A D Bm
But there's a comfort in failure
F#m A D Bm
Singing too loud in church
F#m A D Bm
Screaming my fears into speakers
F#m A
'Till I collapse or I burst
D Bm
Whichever comes first
[Verse 4]
F#m A D Bm
I know you were trying to help
F#m A D Bm
But you're only making it worse
F#m A D Bm
Tell me that I shouldn't blame myself
F#m A D Bm
But you can't even imagine how badly it hurts
F#m A D
Just to think sometimes
F#m A D Bm
How I think almost all the time
Bm F#m A D
(Oooh — Oooh)
[Bridge]
D
So break me down
A
Fold it over your arms
Bm
Like an unloaded shotgun
F#m
Dismantled and harmless
D A
Even you couldn't manage to pull
Bm A
The fuse from the back of my head
[Verse 5]
Bm
When you tell me you love me
A
Tell me you loved me
D A
I wanted so bad to believe it
Bm
So tell me you love me
A
Tell me you loved me
D
I wanted so bad
F#m D
I wanted so bad to believe you
