[Verse]
Bbm Fm7 Bbm
There are things that I've come to believe since the new resurrection of love
Bbm Fm7 Bbm
There are visions I finally see, there are signs everywhere, they're below and above
Bbm Fm7 Bbm
There are things that I finally know, there are secrets and dreams never seen in the light
Bbm Fm7 Bbm Bbm
We are suddenly plunged into dark; our soul is a beast that goes bump in the night
[Chorus]
Ab Fm7 Dbmaj9 Eb
There are endless nights, they just go on forever
Ab Fm7 Dbmaj9 Eb
There are scars on scars that I know will never heal
Ab Fm7 Dbmaj9 Eb
There's relentless pain, it tortures me forever
Bbm Eb
I've got to pretend it's not real.
Ab Fm7
But at least it only hurts
Ab Fm7
At least it only hurts
Bbm Eb
Only When I Feel
Eb Ab
It hurts Only When I Feel
