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