Verse 1:
Bm            D
I can't stand
                       Gbm
No matter how hard you try
                     G
Wearing down every bone
                        Bm
But only just getting by

Bm        D
In my mind
                        Gbm
Is nothing else you can do
                           G
Your world is filled with colour
                            A
And all you ever see is blue

Pre chorus:
      Bm             A           G
I can see that it's wearing you down
          A
And I know
         Bm            A          G
When you pick yourself of off the ground

It's constantly bringing you down

Verse 2:
Bm               D
It's a fine line
                                   Gbm
Between seeing that you need a new start
    D                            Em
and changing everything that you are
                               A
Just to find a way through the dark

Bridge:
Em
Oh the ropes that hold you up
G
Start to frail and loosen up
    D
You cry

You cry

Em
And every tear's a wasted drug

Oh please don't cry
