Verse 1:
       Bm
It all hangs in the balance, it’s all a blur
Bm
  This broken neck holds the weight of the world
G                 E5                Bm
 The devil’s finally admitted every deed

Scarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill
Bm
  They come to life as your guts start to spill
G                   E5                        Bm
 And as it cuts and bleeds, a statue forms in me

I stand here frozen, I stand here frozen


Chorus:
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife


Verse 2:
               Bm
They said this place would be different, it’s still the same
Bm
  I’m sanded faceless you’ve taken my name
G                    E5                              Bm
 A beaten mind won’t heal, it takes you where you’ve been

Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side
Bm
  You’re smashing protons as two worlds collide
G                      E5                       Bm
 With hands as cold as steel I feel you holding me

I stand here frozen, I stand here frozen


Chorus:
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife


Bridge:
Bm
  So I walked out of the valley
Bm
  I let myself feel the sun on my bare back
             N.C.
And melt the dirt off my skin
Bm
  I let the breeze of the wind cleanse me
Bm
  I let the elements in


Breakdown:

It was my only fucking option
Bm
  And again I was whole
     Bm
And again I thought I could feel something one day
Bm
  But this planet doesn’t have a sun
              Bm
It only has a moon that’s lifeless
                     Bm
And every light that shines is a dead reflection


Chorus:
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it
Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right
                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night
Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
