Em                  C 
  My hands are broken 
                  Em 
and time is going on and on it goes 
   C           Em 
forever (how long?) 
                C 
so I go high and, lived all that life 
   Em                     C 
that i have taken all for granted 
 
F                 C 
 Promise me you'll try 
      G 
to leave it all behind 
F                     C 
 Cause I've elected hell 
 G 
lying to myself 
F                C 
 Why have I gone blind? 
    G               F  C 
live another lie 
E     C 
  You   (2X) 
 
Em               C 
  The only way out 
                    Em 
is letting your guard down and never 
    C        Em 
Forgotten(Alone) 
            C 
I stand here all alone 
  Em              C 
And I can see the bottom 
 
F                 C 
 Promise me you'll try 
      G 
to leave it all behind 
F                     C 
 Cause I've elected hell 
 G 
lying to myself 
F                C 
 Why have I gone blind? 
    G               F  C 
live another lie 
 
E     C 
  You  (6X)
