[Intro] G Em x4 [Verse]
G        Em                                  G      Em
I can understand how when the edges are rough

G       Em                                   G      Em
And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass

         C         Am
And you feel too much

               C        Am                   G Em      G Em
And you don't know how long you're gonna last
[Chorus]
                   D               C         G
But everyone you know is tryin' to smooth it over

C              G                 D
Find a way to make the hurt go away

                  D                  C       G
But everyone you know is trying to smooth it over

C                      G           D
Like you're trying to scream underwater

C                             G       D    C
But I won't let you make the great escape

C                                  G        D      C
I'm never gonna watch you checkin out of this place

C
I'm not gonna lose you

             G           D
Cause the passion and the pain

            G        D        C
Are gonna keep you alive someday

C (fade, soft)               G  Em     G   Em
Gonna keep you alive someday
[Verse]
G                   Em                  G           Em
I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face

         G           Em          G      Em
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing

                              C        Am
And you've retreated to your silent corner

           C       Am                     G   Em    G   Em
Like you decided the fight was over for ya

               D                 C        G
Everyone you know is trying to smooth it over

C                      G         D
Find a way to make the hurt go away
[Chorus]
              D                C        G
Everyone you know, is tryin' smooth it over

C                G                     D
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through

C                        G   D     C
I won't let you make the great escape,

C                                 G       D      C
I'm never gonna watch you checkin out of this place

C
I'm not gonna lose you

           G                D
Cause the passion and the pain

              G      D          C
Are gonna keep you alive someday
C (build up) G Em x 4 They're gonna keep you alive someday..m.m.m.m.mmmm [Bridge]
G        Em                            G       Em
Oh, terrified of the dark but not if you go with me

        G  Em                  G         Em
And I don't need a pill to make me numb

    C                      Am
And I wrote the book on runnin'

            C         Am                     G    Em  G Em
But that chapter of my life will soon be done
[Chorus]
D                    C G     D
I'm the king of the great escape

D                                 C      G      D
You're not gonna watch me checkin out of this place

D
You're not gonna lose me

             C        G
Cause the passion and pain

           C       G       D
Are gonna keep us alive someday
D (fade) Yeah the passion and the pain
C (soft fade)                  G  Em     G   Em
Are gonna keep us alive someday,

G       Em    G (fade out)
