C                       Em  
Lost the meaning of our stay  
C                     Em  
Learn to live another day  
C                           Em  
Doubt the choices that we've made  
                     Am  
I know that we can't hide our shame  
                 G  
It's only in disguise  
 
C                     Em  
Drowning in a room to breathe  
C                                Em  
Full of thoughts as though we're free  
C                        Em  
Close our eyes so we can see  
                    Am  
The depth of all we mean to be  
              G  
If only in my eyes  
 
Em        C  
I don't mind  
Em      C  
Mother cries (tortured voices as we crawl)  
Am  
Find me on my better days  
   C                       Em  
To lose it once again, in a way  
 
(intro)  
 
C                            Em  
So try and love me while you can  
C                         Em  
And take the time to understand  
C                          Em  
As long as I can touch your face  
                        Am  
You know I'll never leave this place  
            G  
If only in my mind  
 
Em        C  
I don't mind  
Em      C  
Mother cries (tortured voices as we crawl)  
Am  
Find me on my better days  
   C                       Em  
To lose it once again, in a way  
 
E              Bsus2  
Silence, all I want to say  
            C  
Seems to run away  
              D  
I'll run away with you tonight  
E              Bsus2  
Launder all my sins away  
                      C  
And just like that mistakes are made  
          D  
You know, tonight the world...  
 
Em                 C  
... dies, I don't mind  
Em      C  
Mother cries (tortured voices as we crawl)  
Am  
Find me on my better days  
   C                       Em  
To lose it once again, in a way
