Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Verse 1]
Am C G C
I held a funeral for my past today
Am C F
Laid it in the ground where it's meant to stay
Am C F C
With the roots, the dirt, pain and the hurt
Am C G C
I held a funeral for my past today
[Verse 2]
Am C F C
I got down on my knees, dug up a mighty grave
Am C G F
Made room for all the darkness, the anger, and the shame
Am C F C
So deep it never haunts me, gone forever and always
Am C G C
I held a funeral for my past today
[Refrain]
Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Verse 3]
Am C F C
Well, I've been cutting roses, never thought this day would come
Am C G F
Me and my shadow, we were living as one
Am C F C
Every day I tried to fight it, my demons always won
Am C F Em F G
'Til I stopped fighting
Am C F
'Til I let the light in
[Verse 4]
Am C
Oh, and I could not help but tremble
F C
I could not help but cry
Am C
There was something holy about it
G F
Just watching it die
Am C F C
Right there, as I stood, right before my eyes
Am Em F Em F G
Up from the ashes
Am C G C
Up from the ashes, my phoenix did rise
[Refrain]
Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
Am C F C
Uhh, hey-yeah, hey-yeah, hey-yeah
[Outro]
Am C F C
So come, gather round, what will you lay to rest?
Am C G F
Whatever kills you slowly, don't give it one more breath
Am C F
Let it go, let it be, let it rest here in peace
Am C G C
Lay it down at the funeral for your past today
