Bb   Dm      Gm
 In my life, I have seen,
     Cm      Bb
 People walk into the sea,
     Dm    Gm
 Just to find memories,
       Cm     Bb
 Plagued by constant misery,
    Dm    Gm
 Their eyes cast down,
 Cm       Bb
 Fixed upon the ground,
    Dm    Gm  Cm
 Their eyes cast down

In my past, bittersweet,          not at the 1st)
      Cm        Bb
There's no love between the sheets,
     Dm      Gm
Taste the blood, broken dreams,

With eyes cast down,
 Cm       Bb
Fixed upon the ground,
Dm  Gm    Cm
Eyes cast down
