[Verse 1]
         Am
I've been depressed
since you left, tried to
the fill the hole with wine
             F
Stopped the drugs when
 she came, cleaned
my act up overnight
        Am
If you reach with no reply,
I'll see you when
 I see you man
          F
You can't talk to me through
 the fall if we don't
 know if I can land
         Am
I try to grow but the past,
 it tears me down to size
            F
Tell the world how to process
 but don't take the same advice
     Am
I remember what I sang,
that the morning's
filled with fear
            F
Can't get a handle of
my grief when every
memory turns to tears
[Pre-Chorus]
            Am   C   G
It's been a long year and
                F
 we're not even halfway there

[Chorus]
                      Am
Is this the ending of our
              C                F
youth when pain starts taking over
                   G
Just don't know if I
      C               F
can ever just let it go
                      Am
Everything's falling apart,
              C
 when love is real there's
  F
 never closure
                         G
I guess it's all part of life,
            C              F
 but I can't help but feel low
             G
We spend our youth with
           Am     C    F
 arms and hearts wide open
             G
And then the dark gets in
           Am    C       F
 and that's the end of youth

[Verse 2]
           Am
I've been lost since
the tears but pretend
it's all alright
        F
All my ups led to falls,
that led to trying
 to end my life
        Am
Just a boy at the start
that you leaned on like a man
           F
You were meant to be my friend
 and not to take all that you can
         Am
Takes an age to create,
gotta reinvent the wheel
         F
No one knows what they want,
 just give you what I feel
       Am
If I slip and get high
 I know the low is always near
         F
When I'm down I never see you,
when I'm up you won't appear
