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
