Intro G+G E minorEm x4

G+G    E minorEm                    G+G    E minorEm
I can understand how when the edges are rough
G+G    E minorEm   G+G   E minorEm
And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass
     C majorC        A minorAm
And you feel too much
            C majorC    A minorAm       G+G E minorEm   G+G E minorEm
And you don’t know how long you’re gonna last
               D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
But everyone you know is tryin’ to smooth it over
C majorC           G+G            D MajorD
Find a way to make the hurt go away
               D MajorD         C majorC   G+G
But everyone you know is trying to smooth it over
C majorC                  G+G      D MajorD
Like you’re trying to scream underwater
C majorC                      G+G  D MajorD  C majorC
But I won’t let you make the great escape
C majorC                          G+G D MajorD   C majorC
I’m never gonna watch you checkin out of this place
C majorC
I’m not gonna lose you
           G+G      D MajorD
Cause the passion and the pain
           G+G D MajorD       C majorC
Are gonna keep you alive someday
C majorC (fade, soft)           G+G E minorEm   G+G   E minorEm
Gonna keep you alive someday

G+G          E minorEm         G+G      E minorEm
I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
        G+G          E minorEm     G+G   E minorEm
And you wouldn’t flinch or even feel a thing
                        C majorC    A minorAm
And you’ve retreated to your silent corner
         C majorC    A minorAm            G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm
Like you decided the fight was over for ya
            D MajorD           C majorC    G+G
Everyone you know is trying to smooth it over
C majorC           G+G             D MajorD
Find a way to make the hurt go away
             D MajorD            C majorC   G+G
Everyone you know, is tryin’ smooth it over
C majorC                G+G             D MajorD
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
C majorC                   G+G  D MajorD   C majorC
I won’t let you make the great escape,
C majorC                         G+G  D MajorD  C majorC
I’m never gonna watch you checkin out of this place
C majorC
I’m not gonna lose you
            G+G        D MajorD
Cause the passion and the pain
             G+G   D MajorD     C majorC
Are gonna keep you alive someday
C majorC (build up)                   G+G E minorEm x 4
They’re gonna keep you alive someday..m.m.m.m.mmmm

G+G    E minorEm                      G+G    E minorEm
Oh, terrified of the dark but not if you go with me
           G+G E minorEm         G+G     E minorEm
And I don’t need a pill to make me numb
            C majorC           A minorAm
And I wrote the book on runnin’
            C majorC     A minorAm        G+G  E minorEm G+G E minorEm
But that chapter of my life will soon be done
D MajorD              C majorC G+G    D MajorD
I’m the king of the great escape
D MajorD                          C majorC  G+G  D MajorD
You’re not gonna watch me checkin out of this place
D MajorD
You’re not gonna lose me
            C majorC    G+G
Cause the passion and pain
      C majorC          G+G    D MajorD
Are gonna keep us alive someday
D MajorD (fade)
Yeah the passion and the pain
C majorC (soft fade)              G+G   E minorEm   G+G   E minorEm
Are gonna keep us alive someday,
G+G    E minorEm  G+G (fade out)
someday
