     Ebm
It's frightening

            F#
How you can see the

             G#m
changes happening

When they move so

Ebm C#-Ebm
fast 

    Ebm
And lightning

           F#
Except the odds are

              G#m
growing These lonely times

               Ebm  C#-Ebm
will strike me twice

Refrain 1:

B                  C#
  The screams of a thousand

           Bbm
voices Are whispers inside 

   B   B
my head The echoes

   C#
of self defense

Chorus 1:

F#
  So how many times

        C#
will it take

To cover up the

        G#m
past mistakes

And hide behind a

           B       C#
crying you face of shame

F#
  And how many

              C#
nights will I hide

and blink under the

           G#m
blackened skies

I've cursed out

   B    C#   Ebm--B-- x2
so many times

Verse 2:

     Ebm
It's biting

         F#
when the cold wind

blows through

          G#m
weathered eyes

               Ebm C#-Ebm
and blistered skin

     Ebm
it's quiet now

              F#
it's like the calm before

           G#m
the raging violence

               Ebm C#-Ebm Ebm C#-Ebm
of the storm begins

Refrain 2:

B
  and when this comes 

C#
crashing down

     Ebm
I'll fall harder 

       B
than before

B
  I'll start this 

    C#
all over now

Chorus 2:

F#
  So how many times

        C#
will it take

To cover up the

        G#m
past mistakes

And hide behind a

           B       C#
crying you face of shame

F#
  And how many

              C#
nights will I hide

and blink under the

           G#m
blackened skies

I've cursed out

   B    C#      Ebm--B-- x2
so many times before

Bridge:

G#m                 F#/Bb
   I'll beg for the ending 

               B
or just for forgiveness

or just for forgiveness

G#m                 F#/Bb
   I'll wait in the shadows 

                B              C#
of a battle I'm close to losing

Chorus 3: Silence:

F#
  So how many times

        C#
will it take

To cover up this

        G#m
smiling face of silence

     B
This face of shame

F#
  And how many

              C#
nights will I hide

and blink under the

           G#m
blackened skies

I've cursed out

   B    C#      F#
so many times before

So how many times

        C#
will it take

To cover up the

        G#m
past mistakes

And hide behind a

           B       C#
crying you face of shame

F#
  And how many

              C#
nights will I hide

and blink under the

           G#m
blackened skies

I've cursed out

   B    C#   F#(hold)
so many times
