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