INTRO
|C / / / |Fmaj7/C / / / |C / / / |Fmaj7/C / / / | 
 
VERSE 1
 
In my
rearview mirror dreams
 
I see my
Fmaj7/C 
self staring back as a kid
 
Asking whether I be
lieve in all those songs
 
The same way I
Fmaj7/C 
did
 
He says, “
Now you’ve got a wife and kids
 
In the
Fmaj7/C 
scars that life alone can give
 
Do you still
honestly believe
 
That we were meant to
Fmaj7/C 
live?”
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
It’s what the
Dm7 
race car drivers say
 
When they press
on the gas
 
It’s not the
Em7 
driving fast that kills you
 
It’s the
F2 
stopping fast
 
So let this
Dm7 
fire only burn
 
With what could
never last
 
CHORUS
 
Every day I write the
Am7 
eu
Fmaj7 
- lo
gy
 
For everything I
Am7 
used
Fmaj7 
to
be
 
I’m still aiming for a
Am7 
bet -
Fmaj7 
ter
me
 
I am the
Am7 
mosaic of a shattered
Fmaj7 
man
 
Broken and be
coming
 
Broken and be
coming who I am
 
TURNAROUND
|Am7 / Fmaj7 / |C / G / | 
 
VERSE 2
 
I am a
Am7 
patchwork tapes
Fmaj7 
try of these de
feats
 
Finally ad
mitting I was wrong
|Am7 / Fmaj7 / |C / G / | 
 
All the
Am7 
shattered, ruined
Fmaj7 
dreams that I re
lease
 
Broken parts of
me I thought we’re strong
|Am7 / Fmaj7 / |C / G / | 
 
The
Am7 
world I thought was
Fmaj7 
always and for
ever
 
And would
never go away
|Am7 / Fmaj7 / |C / G / | 
 
PRE-CHORUS
 
Scattered
Dm7 
ashes of my past
 
Finds that
mosaic glue
 
Only
Em7 
that which has been broken once
 
Is
Fmaj7 
fit to use
 
You’re
Dm7 
where all my broken parts are finally
Restitute
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
TURNAROUND
|C / / / |Fmaj7/C / / / |C / / / |Fmaj7/C / / / | 
 
BRIDGE
 
In my
rearview mirror dreams
 
In my
Fmaj7/C 
rearview mirror dreams
 
I’m for
Cmaj7 
ever being born
 
As even the
Fmaj7/C 
grave gives birth to green
Fmaj7/C 
 
HALF-CHORUS
 
Every day I write the
Am7 
eu
Fmaj7 
- lo
gy
 
For everything I
Am7 
used
Fmaj7 
to
be
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
FINAL CHORUS
