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