E – A – C#m – F#m

E     A                           
      Come up screaming…

C#m     A
        Come up screaming…

C#m – F#m E . . .

E                               A
  I've never seen you look like this without a reason,

E                        A                F#m    A      B
  Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.

B  –  A   –   F#m
       *shot!*

E                        A
  I never took the smile away from anybody's face,

E                               A                F#m     A      B
  And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

[Hook]

C#m            E            A      B              C#m

Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside

      Stay alive

E – F#m

E                                     A
   I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

        C#m                  F#m                       E
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

E . . .

E                            A
   I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,

E                                 A       F#m    A     B
   But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

   So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.

C#m                               F#m
    Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded

   Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
