[Intro]
Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G


[Verse 1]
Cadd9
How many line
 can
I cross till #
I feel myself
bleed
        Cadd9
See I'm tired of
searching for
someone
       G
that I used to be
   Cadd9
It feels like I'm
falling again but
               G
I'm already on my
knees
       Cadd9
Well I thought you
 could fix this but
                G
it's in the way I
bleed

[Pre-Chorus]
D
Where do I go now
     Em
when all that
            Cadd9
we built is on fire
     D
If I told you
that I didn't
Em
need you, well
           Cadd9
that would be a lie


[Chorus]
     Em
It's hard to
believe you're not
 D
alone when all you
       Cadd9
got is yourself
         Em
Why do I hate the
 way I feel
             D
I guess it's time
that
I watch my
Cadd9
own health
        Em
And the train
we're
 on is out of
D
steam and I'm
        Cadd9
calling for help
We’re stopped
   Em
in hell


[Interlude]
Em    Cadd9  G

[Verse 2]
Cadd9
A darkness is
 raging
in your mind and
             G
light aint coming
 through
Cadd9
Cut deep into my
scars it wasn't
      G
blood that you
 drew
Cadd9
Strung up my flaws
on a line and I
         G
believed them to
    Cadd9
The man that I
loved back then
           G
he is no longer
 you


[Pre-Chorus]
D
Where do I go now
     Em
when all that we
         Cadd9
built is on fire
     D
If I told you
that I didn't
Em
need you, well
           Cadd9
that would be a lie


[Chorus]
     Em
It's hard to
believe you're not
 D
alone when all you
       Cadd9
got is yourself
         Em
Why do I hate the
 way I feel
             D
I guess it's time
 that I
         Cadd9
watch my own health
        Em
And the train
we're on is out of
D
steam and I'm
        Cadd9
calling for help
We’re stopped
   Em   Cadd9
in hell

[Outro]
We’re stopped
   Em  Cadd9
in hell
We’re stopped
   Em    Cadd9 G
in hell
Cadd9   G Cadd9 G
