 Saint Claire 

Em 

 G                  C                  Em 
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away 
 G                 C             G                  Em 
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain 



verse 1: 

G 
If I could read the world my notebook and these thoughts in it 
C 
Would they judge me or love me for what I've written? 
Em                 G 
Tryna get closer to spirit that enters the body 
C 
It's the vessel like I'm not in it 
Em                         G 
In fifty-something years, I won't be here 
C 
There'll be a kid with some headphones coverin' his ears 
Em                         G 
Walkin' 'round a hallway, dreamin' of ideas 
C 
Find himself in the sound 'cause music is a mirror 
Em                     G 
What you looking for? What you headed towards? 
C 
What's your name worth when they mention yours? 
Em                    G 
When you leave here, are you stepping forward? 
C 
Can you remember your intention when they question yours? 
G 
They're gonna question yours, they're gonna question yours 
  C 
I've been to rock bottom and I'm headed North 
Em                                      G 
If you don't love yourself, what's the respect for? 
           C 
If you don't love life, the check won't correct yours 

Excavate 



G                 C                  Em 
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away 
G                 C               Em 
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain 
G                    C 
And I found peace 
            Em 
And I found peace 
      G 
And I found peace 



verse 2: Macklemore 

G 
I had this vision of my death 
                      C 
Surrounded by people I love and respect 
                 Em 
In the baby blue Cadillac hearse 
G                    C 
Pullin' me 'round the block that I rep 
                  Em                    G 
The greatest fear that I've ever kept 
C 
Is dying with regrets 
                Em                   G 
Like was I just alive for success? 
                        C                                Em 
Or did I leave a better life for the rest? 
                  G 
My greatest achievement isn't the dollars 
C                                             Em 
My greatest achievement isn't the followers 
                  G 
My greatest achievement isn't the accolades 
C 
My greatest achievement is my daughter 
Em                        G 
Wakin' up in the morning, bein' a father 
C 
Watchin' the light kiss her eyelids 
Em          G 
Hearin' her sing along to Chance 
C 
And bein' like, "Yeah, that's my kid" 
G 
The light started to glow 
C 
And the saxophone from Coltrane started to blow 
Em                           G 
Tender, laying in the snow, turn on my headphones 
C 
Couple miles to go before I run out of road 
G 
Excavate 

 
G                  C                 Em 
Fill my lungs up, pour my heart out, peel my bones away 
 G               C                Em 
Crack my window, shed my shadow, excavate my pain 
G                   C 
And I found peace 
            Em 
And I found peace 
      G           C 
And I found peace 
            Em 
And i found peace 




Outro: Macklemore 
G                              C 
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me 
        Em               G                C 
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read 
      Em                  G                     C 
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave 
     Em                  G                 C 
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me? 
  G                             C 
Hold me up into the light and study every part of me 
         Em               G               C 
I'm an open book, no, I don't mind, but sometimes I'm hard to read 
       Em                  G                     C 
Just flesh and bone, I'm headed home, but this life is so hard to leave 
      Em                G                 C 
But who am I when they cut the lights and nobody's watching me? 
 G      C      Em
