Intro: Am  F  Dm (2x)
 
Verse: 
Am             F           Dm              
  Life is the pain of the pictures in my mind 
Am                  F             G 
  The fear is the child I left behind 
Am             F            Dm              
  I'm never ashamed of the scars you see across my face 
Am            F                    G 
  I'm only afraid that this will change 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
          F            G 
When you try to rise above me  
 
              Am      Em 
I'll show you my own hell 
            F                   G 
And I can reach right down and pull you out 
 
           Dm 
If I can change this life,  
         G 
I would make things right 
         F              G 
I would keep my shit together 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
        F                 G 
I'm the only hope you've got  
            Am   F           Dm 
To see the light   (See the light) 
 
Verse: 
Am                F           Dm 
  My heart grows numb as the tide rolls in 
        Am 
(Woh oh oh) 
 
Am              F                  G 
  And all the waves come crashing down 
 
Am                    F 
  They swallow your dreams  
         Dm                  
And the love that kept you hanging on 
 
Am             F                    G 
  Without my voice you'll lose yourself 
 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
          F            G 
When you try to rise above me  
 
              Am      Em 
I'll show you my own hell 
        F                   G 
I can reach right down and pull you out 
 
           Dm 
If I can change this life,  
         G 
I would make things right 
         F              G 
I would keep my shit together 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
        F                 G 
I'm the only hope you've got  
 
 
BREAK: 
         Am                  Em 
All the sins you've given it up 
               F                       G 
And we can't breathe when we're not together 
 
        Am                     Em 
What we had was just perfect enough 
            F                 G 
Taking its toll can't last forever 
 
             Dm 
And I would give my life,  
         G 
Just to make things right 
        F              G 
Got to keep my shit together 
 
       Dm                   G 
All I want is another one chance 
               F                G 
All I need is one more broken heart 
                F                G 
(All I need is one more broken heart) 
 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
          F            G 
When you try to rise above me  
 
              Am      Em 
I'll show you my own hell 
            F                   G 
And I can reach right down and pull you out 
 
           Dm 
If I can change this life,  
         G 
I would make things right 
         F              G 
I would keep my shit together 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
        F                 G 
I'm the only hope you've got  
            Am 
To see the light 
Bm          F 
  (See the light) 
 
                Am   Em 
I'll break your ha-lo-o 
        F                 G 
I'm the only hope you've got  
            Am   F  Dm 
To see the light 
          Am    F  Dm 
(See the light)
