A 
Woke up early this mornin'

To a thunder and rainstorm

My windows 
A 
My home's been broken

And my heart has been blown wide open 
                   F#m    
I don't wanna feel angry 
                   E 
I don't wanna feel empty

I don't want no sympathy

How much my little heart can hurt

Some people got a lot of nerve

I'm not afraid

I swam in the ocean in the night

Under the stars      so clear 
Bm                          E 
My pale body bouncin' in the waves 
                F#m       B                    E 
I felt I could disappear, I'm still here, yes, I am

Who am I to blame?

Going down in flames
