[Verse 1] C#F Timber shakes these trails they all derail A# Phony, false and frail G#C# An empty ocean lost our way with no direction home F Golden needles names we take in vein A# Find it harder to remain G# And nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation
[Chorus] C# Right before my eyes G# I saw the whole world lose control A# The whole world lost control F#(low) G# Before my eyes uh-huh C# I fell through the floor G# I couldn't take this anymore A# I can't take this anymore F#(low) G It breaks my mind uh-huh
[Verse 2] C#F Hold your dirty hand over the flames A# Getting pleasure from the pain G# Softly screaming the pistol that you raise has spoken C#F Golden needles names we take in vein A# Find it harder to remain G# Well nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation
[Chorus] C# Right before my eyes G# I saw the whole world lose control A# The whole world lost control F#(low) G# Before my eyes uh-huh C# I fell through the floor G# I couldn't take this anymore A# I can't take this anymore F#(low) G It breaks my mind uh-huh
[Bridge] F#(low) A# Everything I thought I knew fell to the side F(low) A# Time went on and on I couldn't see past my on eyes G# Past my eyes Am# Past my eyes G# Past my eyes
[Chorus] C# Right before my eyes G# I saw the whole world lose control A# The whole world lost control F#(low) G# Before my eyes uh-huh C# I fell through the floor G# I couldn't take this anymore A# I can't take this anymore F#(low) G It breaks my mind uh-huh
