[Intro]

C      Am  F      G  x2

C      Am



[Chorus]

F                G

I am out for a walk

       C                                          Am

And I will not be back till they're staining my skin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin

F                  G

Every night I do walk

        C                                     Am

And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin



[Verse 1]

    F               G       C

There's a way to truly be seen

             Am        F

By furiously skimming in

                G          C

Forget the jewels, I'm livid

                                     Am   F

Veins are shutting out fine on their own

                 G              C

Blood on my cheeks, birds come by

            Am              F

One of my stomps and they fly

          G        C                                Am

People politely smile to make sure I won't come any closer



[Chorus]

F                G

I am out for a walk

       C                                          Am

And I will not be back till they're staining my skin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin

F                  G

Every night I do walk

        C                                     Am

And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin



[Verse 2]

   F           G            C

Now a swollen eye is four days

             Am            F

Of curious calm, snow in May

            G         C

Way better off on my own

                                     Am    F

Since no one cries there's no one to blame

                G         C

It hurts, I feel everything

                    Am           F

As my sense of self's wearing thin

                 G       N.C.

Such pains can be a delight

                                  N.C.

Far from when I could drown in my shame



[Chorus]

F                G

I am out for a walk

       C                                          Am

And I will not be back till they're staining my skin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin

F                  G

Every night I do walk

        C                                     Am

And if they're looking down I'm offering my chin

F                        G

This is how I chose to talk

           C                              Am

With some violent hits, violet blossoms akin



[Post-Chorus]

    F

Say now

              G

(I chose to talk)

 C                        Am

(violent hits, blossoms akin)

    F

Say now

              G

(I chose to talk)

 C                        Am

(violent hits, blossoms akin)

    F

Say hun hun hun

              G

(I chose to talk)

 C                        Am

(violent hits, blossoms akin)



[Outro]

    F

Say now

              G

(I chose to talk)

 C                        Am

(violent hits, blossoms akin)
