Verse 1:
C                                           Em          G
He had a temper and when it went off was as deadly as a gun
C                                         Em
He made her feel like she had nowhere to run
C
Clinging together like honey and leather
 Em                         G
Ridiculous when you look back

Like it was preordained they wore everything black

      G              D                C
Stay surrounded by people that don't want us
  Em                 G
In places we're not wanted
  D             C     Em
Tell me why you stay

Verse 2:
C
Sits at the table and goes through emotions
    Em                      G
Telling herself that she's trapped
C                                       Em
Faking a smile, it doesn't have to be like that
C
No room to breathe, he's lost in the silence
 Em                    G
Wondering what he did wrong
  C                                                Em
Thinking that no one cared, feeling like the only one

Bridge:
C
The truth in your heart is a ticking bomb
Em
The voice inside telling you to run
 C                           Em
Keeps screaming to move it along, along
               C                             Em
I want you to know that there's always a way out
                    C                               Em
Heaven's out there somewhere, but you have to leave now
