Am F C G
And I've been losing my mind since I was born into this dark world
Am F C E
And I don't believe in anything 'cause I can't forget the things I've seen
Am F C G
But the only thing left worth fighting for is the innocence in you
Am F C E
I'd sooner die before I see you disappear
Am F Am
When winds carry us by compass rose
F Am
Not even her arms feel like home
F
Nailed to a broken dream
C
There's no place for me
C F G Am C
So if you're gonna' stay, then how long would you wait for me before your love begins to fade?
F G E Am G
I just can't spend all of my days in this place wasting away
F G Am C
So don't forget me when I'm gone, I promise I won't be long
F G E G Am
Maybe carrying all these burdens will teach us to be strong (will teach us to be strong)
Am
None shall pass
C
I will pay for this
G
Nailed to a broken dream
E G Am
There's no place (there's no place) for me
Am
No security
Am
Crown or comfort
C
Shackled to a bed of thorns
G
The water's at your throat
E Am G
To get burned when you've been warned
C F G Am C
So if I lose control, then how long would you wait for me to find my way around these walls?
F G E Am G
My mind's a maze I'm stranded in, and my bones might rot where I fall
F G Am C
Is this air laced with Novocaine, 'cause I don't feel anything at all
F G E Am G Am F
If I can't have you and I can't find truth, then what's the point of waking up?
C G Am F C G
(then what's the point of waking up)
Am F C G
And if I could have another chance, I wouldn't change a single thing
Am F C G
I'd run like hell and not look back as the world burns down behind me
Am F C G
And I would swear to change it all, I wouldn't let them push me to my knees
Am F C G F G
I would fight like an animal. I wouldn't do a thing differently
Am F C
Carry me away from here and teach me to be strong
C
This is my own escape
G
It's not where we were promised to be
Am F
I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness
C
There's no place for me
G
Pull me away from
C
Pull me away from here
C F Am C F
So if you're gonna' stay, then how long would you wait for me before your love begins to fade?
F G E Am G
I wish that part of me believed that I'm gonna' come home someday
F G Am
Is there purpose without meaning?
Am C F
Is there a life that's worth living?
F G E Am G Am C
Is there a chance to change things or have we really ruined everything?
