[Intro] Cm Eb Ab Bb Cm Eb Ab Bb [Verse]
Cm                                       Ab
My mind's a kaleidoscope, it thinks too fast

                                       Cm
Blurs all the colors 'til I can't see past

                               Ab                                          Cm
The last mistake, the choice I made. Staring in the mirror with myself to blame

                                     Ab                                Cm
Sometimes I'm afraid of the thoughts inside, nowhere to hide inside my mind

                                    Ab                  Bb       Cm
I'm scared that you'll compare and I'll look a lifetime past repair

Cm                        Eb                        Ab
I second guess myself to death, I re-solicit every step

                            Eb                        Bb         Cm
What if my words are meaningless? What if my heart's misleading this?

                        Eb
I try to capture every moment as it comes to me

Ab
Bottle up the memories and let them keep me company
[Chorus]
         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me

         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me

         Cm       Gm              Ab    Eb
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

Fm             Ab        G
I will not be giving in tonight
[Verse]
        Cm                            Ab
When I'm old and grey, or thirty, or whatever happens first

          Cm                    Ab
I'll need you to reassure me I didn't waste a verse

    Cm                                Ab
Or worse, what if my life's work is reduced to just myself

  Cm                                       Ab                  Bb
Like never let you get a word in, while I dissect my mental health

     Cm                                 Eb
Or lack thereof, whatever, there's too many things to track

Ab                              Bb
I really can't remember if I'm insane or insomniac

Cm                                        Ab
Now days, all the kids want crazy, wanna diagnose themselves

          Cm                       Ab
Trade up made up epidemics, pass around prescription pills

          Cm                         Eb
But my disorder can't be cured by a bottle, blade, or dose

      Bb                                        Ab
Self-disgust and selfishness tend to hold me awfully close

             Cm                            Eb
But I don't wanna let you see that, I don't want my friends to know

      Bb                              Ab
Self-disgust and selfishness take me everywhere I go
[Chorus]
         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me

         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me

         Cm       Gm              Ab    Eb
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

Fm             Ab        G
I will not be giving in tonight
[Bridge]
Cm                Gm                Ab                      Eb
Try as I might to keep it together. Why is recovery taking forever

Cm                          Gm                  Ab                   Bb
Fool the whole world, just until I get better. I'm terrified I'll be faking forever

Cm                            Gm                            Ab                             Eb
On and on I wonder what went wrong inside my head. I don't have to have the answers, but tonight I wish I did

Cm                             Gm                      Ab                      Bb
All the pain I can't explain away won't fade. All the secrets silenced by the shame

                  Cm
Don't make me say it

                  Gm
Don't make me say it

                  Ab
Don't make me say it

                  Eb
Don't make me say it

                  Cm
Don't make me say it

                  Gm
Don't make me say it

                  Ab
Don't make me say it

                  Bb
Don't make me say it
[Chorus]
         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
When the hope of morning starts to fade in me

         Cm       Gm                Ab    Eb
I don't dare let darkness have its way with me

         Cm       Gm              Ab    Eb
And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

Fm             Ab        G
I will not be giving in tonight
