[Verso 1]
  C 
As life goes down 
            G 
its twisted path 
Some things never 
            C 
change The story has 
been so overplayed 
    Em             C 
for me What now to think 
It's strange to hear you 
G 
say A comfort known too 
Am 
well it's not good 
                C 
bye it's just a phrase

G 
  Give me reason 
D 
  give me something to 
Em 
  Something to keep 
             C 
from burning out 
             G 
Keep holding on to 
     D 
expectations gone bad 
Em 
Riding on this fence 
        C 
of disbelief

[Verso 2]
   C                 G 
The long and short of it 
lost without translation 
C 
That you've used to cover up 
    Em                    C 
Whenever it's too cold outside 
                      G 
It died just like the scene 
                 Am 
An uphill battle fought without 
                    C 
the wars and broken dreams
