[Intro]
D Bb G F C x2
[Verse 1]
D Bb
I’ve been smoking on the peace pipe
G F C
I’ve been wondering just what would peace be like
D Bb
I’ve been staring into headlights
G F C
Swallow me whole, finding my peace of mind
D Bb
I’m just trying to seize the moment
G F C
Trying to love the little things, even if they’re hard to love
D Bb
A monument to love unspoken
G F C
Carved into stone “Unwilling to come undone”
[Chorus 1]
D Bb
It feels good to be running from the devil
G F C
Another breath and I’m up another level
D Bb
It feels good to be up above the clouds
G F C
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
D Bb G F C x2
[Verse 2]
D Bb
I remember back in Oakland
G F C
I was lying there in rapture on the bathroom floor
D Bb
Moving hotel to hotel
G F C
Out on the road, no idea really what’s in store
D Bb
Light it up just like a flashlight
G F C
Let it shine, let it rise just like a foreign sun
D Bb
Turn it over and it’s capsized
G F C
It’s finally done, the battle's lost yet I feel I’ve won
[Chorus 1]
D Bb
It feels good to be running from the devil
G F C
Another breath and I’m up another level
D Bb
It feels good to be up above the clouds
G F C
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
D Bb
[Post-Chorus]
G F C
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
D Bb
G F C
It feels good to be me
[Chorus 2]
D Bb
I’m high, staring at the ceiling
G F C
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
D Bb
What comes next, I see a light
G F C
I’m along for the ride as I’m taking flight
D Bb
I’m high, staring at the ceiling
G F C
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
D Bb
What comes next, I see a light
G F C
I’m along for the ride as I’m taking flight
[Chorus 1]
D Bb
It feels good to be running from the devil
G F C
Another breath and I’m up another level
D Bb
It feels good to be up above the clouds
It feels good for the first time in a long time now
[Post-Chorus]

G F C
It feels good for the first time in a long time to be me
D Bb
G F C
It feels good for the first time in a while I’m free
[Chorus 2]
D Bb
I’m high, staring at the ceiling
G F C
Sending my love, what a wonderful feeling
D Bb
What comes next, I see a light
G F C
I’m along for the ride as I’m taking flight
D Bb G F C
