Proud

Intro 

A 
E Asus2 


[Verso 1]
 
          E 
Do you remember when we used to sit outside and by the lake 
Where we would talk about the future, hinking that everything would stay the same, 
    Asus2 
I hoped but that's just the way I cope. Hmm 
      E 
And I know I scared you half to death when I said I love you first 
You said I love you back, but only cuz you choked on other words 
               Asus2 
And I felt relief, because I always thought you'd leave 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                   {C#m} 
Hmm. And you would smile and tell me, about dreams that you had and how you'd go chase them 
                                 Asus2 
And I always got mad cuz I can't go there, and it's partially my choosing 
                                                   E 
Because you like gambles and I'm slow moving, I'll never change 
You could leave for like 10 years and chase your dreams, Come back and I'd still be the same 
              Asus2 
Good kid with bad habits. Hmm 
If I wake up and you've left, I won't be mad at it 
 


[Refrão]
 
    E 
But if I had it my way, you and I would never leave 
We'd be buried in the backyard, decomposing with the leaves 
            Asus2 
But I can't keep you here. Hmm You could do the things I can't put down, the drugs 
                                     {C#m} 
And overcome your fears. And I'm not mad at you 
Look what you've done. You pulled yourself out of the darkness 
And the place that I'm from 
                      Asus2 
And I'm proud you got sober, you figured it out. And yeah, there's life that you left here 
                                                  E 
But look at you now. And you should know that I'm proud 
 


[Pós-Refrão]
 
                          Asus2 
Oh, you should know that I'm proud. Hmmm 
 


[Verso 3]
 
            E 
We drove in silence. There was nothing left to say 
If I had an argument, that worked, it would have made you stay 
          Asus2 
I need to let you go. And I guess I'll never change. I'll be buried in the backyard 
While you're out in East LA. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
            {C#m} 
And I'm not mad no more, but I'm jealous of the way 
     C#m 
that you can up and leave, while I'm stuck here in this cage 
           Asus2 
But man, I built this, and it's not your job to free me 
But if I could, I would break down these chains, hope you believe me 
            {C#m}                                       C#m 
You should run away, It's not fair of me to ask you to stay inside the darkness 
                                           Asus2 
Just to meet me where I'm at cuz you can't go there 
And it's harder to admit it that I've still got my habits 
But I'm happy that you quit 
 


[Refrão]
 
    E 
Cuz if I had it my way, you and I would never leave 
We'd be buried in the backyard, decomposing with the leaves 
            Asus2 
But I can't keep you here. Hmm. You can do the things I can't put down 
                                               {C#m} 
The drugs and overcome your fears. And I'm not mad at you 
Look what you've done. You pulled yourself out of the darkness 
And the place that I'm from 
                      Asus2 
And I'm proud you got sober, you figured it out. And yeah, there's life that you left here 
                                                  E

Outro

But look at you now. And you should know that I'm proud
