Arose Acoustic by Eminem Guitar Chords

Bb
If I could rewind time like a tape
Dm Gm
Inside a boombox, one day for every pill or Percocet that I ate

Cut down on the Valium, I’da heard everything
Bb
But death is turning so definite—wait!

They got me all hooked up to some machine
F
I love you, being, didn’t want you to know I was struggling
Gm
Feels like I’m underwater submerged like a submarine

Just heard that nurse say, my liver and kidneys aren’t functioning
Bb
Been flirtatious with death, skirt-chasing, I guess
Dm
It’s arrivederci, same nurse, just heard say they’re unplugging me
Gm
And it’s your birthday, Jade, I’m missing your birthday
Bb
Baby girl, I’m sorry, I fucking hate when you hurt, Hai

And sweeties, thank you for waiting to open gifts
F
But, girls, you can just open ’em
Gm
Dad ain’t making it home for Christmas

Wish I had the strength to just blow a kiss

I go to make a fist, but I can’t make one, I’m frozen stiff
Bb
I yell, but nothing comes out, I’m crying inside, I shout
Dm Gm
My vocal cords won’t permit me, I scream, but it’s not aloud

You put your arm around Mama to calm her, wow
Bb
I just thought about the aisle, I’ll never get to walk us down

Never see you graduate in your caps and gowns
F Gm
It’s ’bout to be 2008, how’s this happening now?

I’ve got so much more to do
Bb
And, Proof, I’m truly sorry if I let you down, but this tore me in two

The thought of no more me and you
Dm Gm
You gave me shoes, Nikes like new for me for school

Doody, I’m trying, but you, you were the glue that binded
Bb
So many things—time, I’d give anything to rewind it
F
I had to walk down my halls and constantly be reminded
Gm
By pictures all on my walls and I couldn’t sleep at night ’cause

That image burned in my brain of you on that table
Bb
Me falling across your body, not able to stand to save you

God, why did you take him?
Dm
I´m tryna keep his legacy alive, but I´m dying, where’s Nathan?
Gm
Little ladies, be brave, take care of your mother

Smile pretty for pictures, always cherish each other
Bb
I’ll always love ya, and I’ll be in the back of your memory
F
And I know you’ll never forget me

Just don’t get sad when remembering
Gm
And, little bro, keep making me proud

You better marry that girl ’cause she’s faithfully down
Bb
And when you’re exchanging those sacred vows
Dm
Just know that if I could be there, I would

And should you ever see parenthood, I know you’ll be good at it
Gm
Oh, almost forgot to do something, thank my father too

I actually learned a lot from you
Bb
You taught me what not to do

And, Mom, wish I’d have had the chance
F Gm
To have one last heart-to-heart honest and open talk with you

Doody, I see you, I go to walk to you
Bb
And I can feel my soul leave my body and float across the room
Dm
Nurses lean over the bed, pulling tubes out
Gm
Then the sheet over my head, shut the room down

Girls, please don’t get upset
Bb
I see them cheeks soaking and wet, so forcibly, don’t wanna let
F
Me go, pillow drenched, emotional wrecks
Gm
With every second, each closer to death

But suddenly I feel my heart begin to beat slow

Then a breath, machines go (*beep beep beep*)
Bb
Must’ve guessed the cheat codes to this shit
Dm
I’m tryna rewind time like a tape
Gm
Find an escape, make a beeline, try and awake

From this dream, I need to re-find my inner strength
Bb
To remind me, even if a steep climb I must take

To rewrite a mistake, I’m rewinding the tape
