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