Intro:

Fm  F  A# A#

Verse 1:
            Fm                      F
Thought the praying, would make it better
           A#                           A#
But I swear to God I’m just as lost as ever
            Fm                     F
Thought the bottle, would hold me over
          A#                             A#
It still hurt me just as bad when I got sober

Pre-Chorus:
Fm                             A#             A#
Everyone around me’s found a way to let it go
Fm                                 A#             A#
But I can’t help but focus on the things I can’t control

Chorus:
         Fm
All the darkness in my mind
          F
Pain that I can’t leave behind
       A#                                  A#
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
        Fm
All the cold and sleepless nights
        F
Running out of ways to fight
        A#                            A#
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
                 Fm
If I keep buying time  F  A# A#

Verse 2:
          Fm
I stopped going out to bars
       F
I quit smoking
              A#                                A#
Thought that giving that all up would keep me going
       Fm           F
I got over, people pleasing
        A#                            A#
I quit falling into love that had no meaning

Pre-Chorus:
Fm                            A#                A#
I could search forever for a peace I’ll never know
    Fm                             A#              A#
But I can’t help but focus on the things I can’t control

Chorus:
         Fm
All the darkness in my mind
          F
Pain that I can’t leave behind
       A#                                  A#
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
        Fm
All the cold and sleepless nights
        F
Running out of ways to fight
       A#                             A#
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
                 Fm
If I keep buying time F  A# A#

Bridge:
          Fm                F
There’s a storm inside my dreams
          A#               A#
I’m still standing on two feet
        Fm             F
Let the current carry me
         A#              A#
When the water gets too deep

(Outro/Chorus)
        Fm
All the darkness in my mind
          F
Pain that I can’t leave behind
       A#                                  A#
I know there’s a silver line that I can’t see
        Fm
All the cold and sleepless nights
        F
Running out of ways to fight
       A#                             A#
I know there’s a morning light in my reach
                 Fm
If I keep buying time F  A# A#
