Verse 1:

A augmentedA
Crying out
A augmentedA
Now you can't escape you are buried in doubt
A augmentedA
And it pulls you down
A augmentedA
Now you're in too deep you may never get out
    Am9Am9 Cmaj7/G FF   E MajorE
Such an aw - ful   place

A augmentedA
Tear it down
A augmentedA
It's almost too late, is the end coming now?
A augmentedA
As you scream out loud
A augmentedA
You sever the peace 'til your truth has been found


Pre-Chorus 1:

A minorAm             F/AF/A
 Is there nothing left to follow?
A minorAm             F/AF/A
 Is there nothing left to steal?
A minorAm             F/AF/A
 Crying out for something more than I've been shown
    A minorAm       E7E7  E7/G# E7/BE7/B E7/D
Knowing none of this is real

Chorus:

A augmentedA         C majorC
 Don't close your eyes
     G+G          D/F#D/F#
Something beautiful is still alive
A augmentedA         C majorC
 Don't close your eyes
   G+G           D/F#D/F#   A augmentedA
Never turn away and let it die

Pre-Chorus 2:

A minorAm              F/AF/A
 I cannot seem to find the answers
A minorAm            F/AF/A
 Every truth has slipped away
A minorAm             F/AF/A
 All that real is we will never cease to be
    A minorAm          E7E7  E7/G# E7/BE7/B E7/D
Still I search this world in vain

Chorus:

A augmentedA         C majorC
 Don't close your eyes
     G+G          D/F#D/F#
Something beautiful is still alive
A augmentedA         C majorC
 Don't close your eyes
   G+G           D/F#D/F#
Never turn away and let it die

 Cry out to save tomorrow

 It's not too late

 Or your heavy heart will follow
E MajorE
 You to the grave

E MajorE          FF
This is not the end
