Intro: Bm A G (x4) 


verse 1 

Bm                  A                G 
I have a friend and when he sings, I cry 
        Bm                     A                   G 
All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life 
    Bm           A               G 
But I can't talk about old times tonight 
       Bm                    A                G 
'Cause round here the lights stay off all the time 


[Refrão]

     D 
It's seven o'clock 
  F#m 
I already feel late 
        G 
All the pain from my stress, I'm beating my chest 
      A 
About decisions I've had to make 
     D 
Well I breathe in like 
    F#m 
And I breathe out light 
       G 
Run my hands through my hair, see my breath in the air 
    A 
Oh, I'm so tired of running 


verse 2 

     Bm       A                  G 
When all your bad boys have gone sour 
           Bm              A            G 
And you're shivering cold, alone in his shower 
             Bm   A              G 
Oh baby that soap won't make you clean 
                 Bm            A       G 
Oh, screaming at Jesus just to let you bleed 


[Refrão]

     D 
It's seven-thirty 
                F#m 
I can smell the candles burning 
        G 
I could go to sleep now 
       A 
I just wait 'till morning 
         D                         F#m 
When the melodies come and sing me stories 
    G 
Oh, birds that can talk 
                  A 
No, they're never boring 


verse 3 

              Bm                        A               G 
Well, there's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver 
         Bm               A                        G 
And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her 
       Bm              A          G 
So you down that cough syrup, you love feeling so screwed up 
        Bm                       A                G 
And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep 
          Bm                       A                G 
Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace 


[Refrão]

     D 
It's eight o'clock 
           F#m 
She didn't eat today 
      G                                   A 
Yeah, hurting herself has never felt this great 
      D 
Well, see that green hill, friend? 
                 F#m 
That's where I'm gonna be 
         G                              A 
Watching glory coming in in the form of morning 


verse 4 

Bm                  A    G 
I was found on that dark hillside 
       Bm      A              G 
With a certain painting by my side 
           Bm    A                 G 
Screaming "knock down the house of regret" 
         Bm            A 
Knock it down, pave it over, 
          G 
'Till you feel younger and younger 
         Bm            A 
Knock it down, pave it over, 
          G 
'Till you feel like a kid again 


         Bm            A 
Knock it down, pave it over 
          G 
Till your heart's warmer and warmer 
         Bm            A 
Knock it down, pave it over 
         G 
Till you wake up born again
