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