[Intro]
Db Db Fm Eb
Db Eb
Db Fm Eb Eb
I gotta learn to let go
Db Fm Eb Eb
Db Fm Eb Eb
Yeah!
Db Fm Eb Fm
[Verse]
Fm
This darkness, it finds its way through the deepest stretch of night
Db
There's nowhere to hide
Eb
In the back of my mind is where I'll reside
Fm
We never planned for this to become my only escape, the only way out
Fm
I can't do this alone
Cm
There's more for me here but this road is long
Db
I'll overcome these feelings but things haven't gone to plan
Db
Wipe the slate clean, erase it
Fm
I swear to you
Eb
Now I'll embrace it
[Riff Break]
Eb
Is this all in my head?
Eb
A deafening voice that leads me to fear
Db
That I will never ever, never ever know
Db Eb
Just exactly what it means to be happy
Fm Eb
It's so hard to break away
Fm Db
To try and tell myself it's not too late
It's not too late to make a change
[Chorus]
Db Eb
If this is the end, then make me a martyr
Fm
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
Db Eb Fm
So they will never have to face their demons all on their own
Db Eb
No I won't let go
Fm
I won't let go
Ab
But the mind can be a terrible thing
Db Eb Fm
Just don't let it sink in
Db Fm Eb Ab
Will I break away, find a new escape?
[Verse]
Db
Cause this mindset is eating me up inside
Db
Like a cancer pulling me from the light
Fm Eb
Is this just another apparition?
Ab
Judging myself on every past decision
Db
This constant noise, it never seems to end
Fm Eb Db
Screaming at myself from inside my head
[Chorus]
Db Eb
If this is the end, then make me a martyr
Fm
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
Db Eb Fm
So they will never have to face their demons all on their own
Db Eb
No I won't let go
Fm
I won't let go
Ab
But the mind can be a terrible thing
Db Eb Fm
Just don't let it sink in
Db Fm Eb Ab
Will I break away, find a new escape?
[Bridge]
Db
I share my head with another
Fm Eb
And it's not welcome here
Db
Sometimes at night it keeps me awake
As I stare at the ceiling contemplating my fate
Fm Eb
It whispers sweet regrets that I must learn to live with
Db Fm Eb
Singing me to sleep with the same sad songs
Db Eb
Please tell me there is more to me
Fm
( Give it up or you'll never stop falling )
[Chorus]
Db Eb
If this is the end, then make me a martyr
Fm
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
Db Eb Fm
So they will never have to face their demons all on their own
Db Eb
No I won't let go
Fm
I won't let go
Ab
But the mind can be a terrible thing
Db Eb Fm
Just don't let it sink in
Db Fm Eb Ab
Will I break away, find a new escape?
