Tom : B
INTR: A E C# B
C# A E
It's too late the time has come
B F# E C#
I've kept this inside me way too long
A E
Silence will leave me cold
B F# E C#
Lost on a highway that never takes me home
[Refrão]
A E C# B
I want to step a side I want to give it up before I lose it all
A E C# B
It's tearing me inside the way you break me down
A E C# B
There will come a time when I will come undone and you let me fall
A E C# B
I leave it all behind before you break me down
[Próxima Parte]
C# A E
The weight of a thousand lies
B F# E C#
A promise is broken on me all the time
C# A E
You say that you're sure to change
B F# E C#
But that black heart reveals that you always stay the same
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
A F# C#
And I've realized forgiveness is calling
B C#
And it's calling
A F# C#
And I deny the reason I'm falling
B C#
Yeah I'm falling
A F# C#
So let go
[Refrão] (repetir)
