Verse:

E                              A
Streets are filled with broken glass
                      Am
You get buried by the past
                      E
Give me just a little taste
                 B
Lay this mask to waste
        E
Take me home

E                         A
My mind is racing take me home
                    Am
My body's aching so alone
                                E
I'll make you want to stay with me
                  B
Befriended by the enemy
         E
One more time

Chorus:

E
Every little thing about this tells me
G#m
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
F#m                                 B
All these words that I hear spoken
                     E
Just promises broken now

{Bridge]

G
Looking outside from my window sill
C
Throw another coin in the wishing well
       G                      C
You'll never find what you're looking for
A  D
15 miles
     A
Your dim light shines
        D
From so far away
B        E         B
Your sad smile, is all I see
E
When I say...

Chorus:

E
Every little thing about this tells me
G#m
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
F#m                                 B
All these words that I hear spoken
                      E
Just promises broken now

Verse:

E              A
From the hotel satellite
                              Am
Don't look like you're livin' right

You ain't got as much to lose
