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