Verse
D
There is a darkness
E
that sits in the back of your mind.
F#m
We spent our youth creating futures
A
where we both would have our time.
D
We were 15, so naive
E
and blinded by possibilities.
F#m
We used to feel so alive,
A
what dulled your shine?
[Chorus]
D E
But there has got to be a better way
F#m A
then drowning in this hateful place.
D E
The look inside your mother’s eyes
F#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
A
waiting to die.
[Verse]
D E
And at the bottom of every bottle
F#m
there is a silence,
A
where you question
your existence.
D
Denying the fact that maybe there is
E
more to life than this.
[Chorus]
D E
But there has got to be a better way
F#m A
then drowning in this hateful place.
D E
The look inside your mother’s eyes
F#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
A
waiting to die.
[Bridge]
D E
And now the world
F#m
will never know
A
the brother that I’ve
grown to love.
D
And I blame myself
E
cause I didn’t realize,
F#m
The sadness that consumed
A
was always hidden by your smile.
D E F#m
February 11th, the darkest day.
A
I hope your soul will rest easy,
and you’re no longer in pain.
[Chorus]
D E
But there has got to be a better way
F#m A
then drowning in this hateful place.
D E
The look inside your mother’s eyes
F#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
A
waiting to die.
