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