All I see is shattered pieces.
G

I can't keep it hidden like a secret.
C
(Jen: I can't look away)
Am
From all this pain in the world we've made.
Em
Every day you need a bulletproof vest
G
To save yourself from what you could never guess.
C
(Jen: Am I safe today?)

When I step outside in the wars we wage?

Em
Like a hand grenade, thrown in a hurricane
G
Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame.
C
Yesterday is gone
Am
Faster than the blast of a car bomb.
Em
And when the scars heal, the pain passes,
G
As hope burns we rise from the ashes.
C
Darkness fades away
Am                               G
And the light shines on a brave new day.

In a world gone mad (in a voice so sad)
                        Em
Sometimes it's crazy (crazy)
              G
To fight for what you believe,
C
But you can't give up (No)
Am                            Em
If you want to keep what you love,

Keep what you love, Keep what you love, Keep what you love
               Bm
Keep what you love.

Give it all, promise you won't lose me

These days, hope is hard to come by

You give me faith
                      E
To believe there's a way
                  G#m
To put the past finally behind me

Key - B

[Verse 1]
G#m                                          B
Chasin these shadows, around this darkened room
G#m                                            B
Ive layed here so long, I don't even want to move
C#m        G#m           F#
I need a minute now, to heal
C#m        G#m             B             F#
I need a minute now, to remember how to feel

*([Chorus])
E               F#   G#m
Whenever youre gone away
E              F#      G#m
The darkness hides the day
E               F#
Whenever youre gone
       G#m
The bleeding wont stop
E                   D#m
It hurts til you come back
                E F# G#m

G#m                                      B
I reached for you and I need you to be there
All alone, chasing the shadows
G#m                                                B
I dont want the pain, but Id rather hurt than not heal
Its so hard, you've been away from here
C#m        G#m           F#
I need a reason now, to heal (I need something, to believe in)
C#m        G#m            B              F#
I need a reason now, to remember how to heal

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

C#m              G#m
Give me something to believe in
B                   F#
I still believe in you
C#m                                G#m
But if you're never here, and I'm left all alone
         B                    D#m
Tell me what am I supposed to do!
