[Intro] Fm9 Fm9 [Verse 1]
Fm9                   Cm11/Eb
  I am back here once again

       Cm11
In the mist

       Db
In the mist without sight

Fm9                         Cm11/Eb
  I thought I fought my way back

        Cm11
Now I'm afraid

      Db
I'm afraid to lose hope

Fm9                  Cm11/Eb
  Will I ever be the man

      Cm11
In control

      Db
In control of his world?

Fm9                         Cm11/Eb
  Open wounds that will not heal

        Cm11
Pull me back

        Db
Pull me back inside
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bbm
And I

                    Ab/C
I was always on the side

                    Bbm/Db
Of conformities and pride

                        C/E
Had no shelter from the rain

    Bbm
And I

                    Ab/C
I was always on the side

                    Bbm/Db
So I kept my little lie

                         C
To be safe from what may come
[Verse 2]
Fm9
To be alone inside of my thoughts

  Cm11/Eb
A state that I tend to avoid

       Cm11
But if I can't get to them

        Db
I think no one can

Fm9                     Cm11/Eb
  Moving forward nonetheless

     Cm11          Db
I'm afraid this is how I've become

Fm9
How can I sort it out

       Cm11/Eb
When I don't even know what I'm looking for?

     Cm11
If I only knew that, at least

        Db
I could deal with it

Fm9                     Cm11/Eb
  I don't even have a plan

   Cm11        Db
On how to move forward from here
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bbm
And I

                    Ab/C
I was always on the side

                    Bbm/Db
Of conformities and pride

                        C/E
Had no shelter from the rain

    Bbm
And I

                    Ab/C
I was always on the side

                    Bbm/Db
So I kept my little lie

                         C/E
To be safe from what may come

O_______h, my life

      Bbm

In this moment

         C/G     C         Fm
There is nothing here but darkness

[Interlude] Fm9 Cm11/Eb Cm11 Db11 (x2) [Verse 3]
Fm9                             Cm11/Eb
  I hold my breath and count to ten

      Cm11
Maybe then

        Db11
It will all go away

Fm9                           Cm11/Eb
  Distraction strategies may work

    Cm11
But only

     Db11
Only for so long
