Verse 1:

A
Crying out
A
Now you can't escape you are buried in doubt
A
And it pulls you down
A
Now you're in too deep you may never get out
    Am9 Cmaj7/G F   E
Such an aw - ful   place

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


Pre-Chorus 1:

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

Chorus:

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


Pre-Chorus 2:

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

Chorus:

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

Instrumental:

E

Bridge:

E
 Cry out to save tomorrow
E
 It's not too late
E
 Or your heavy heart will follow
E
 You to the grave

E
This is not the end
E          F
This is not the end
