Chords

[Intro] | Bm | Bm | Bm | Bm | x2 [Verse 1]
       Bm
It all hangs in the balance, it’s all a blur

Bm
  This broken neck holds the weight of the world

G                 E5                Bm
 The devil’s finally admitted every deed
Scarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill
Bm
  They come to life as your guts start to spill

G                   E5                        Bm
 And as it cuts and bleeds, a statue forms in me
I stand here frozen, I stand here frozen [Chorus]
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[Verse 2]
               Bm
They said this place would be different, it’s still the same

Bm
  I’m sanded faceless you’ve taken my name

G                    E5                              Bm
 A beaten mind won’t heal, it takes you where you’ve been
Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side
Bm
  You’re smashing protons as two worlds collide

G                      E5                       Bm
 With hands as cold as steel I feel you holding me
I stand here frozen, I stand here frozen [Chorus]
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[Bridge]
Bm
  So I walked out of the valley

Bm
  I let myself feel the sun on my bare back
N.C. And melt the dirt off my skin
Bm
  I let the breeze of the wind cleanse me

Bm
  I let the elements in
[Breakdown] It was my only fucking option
Bm
  And again I was whole

     Bm
And again I thought I could feel something one day

Bm
  But this planet doesn’t have a sun

              Bm
It only has a moon that’s lifeless

                     Bm
And every light that shines is a dead reflection
[Chorus]
G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife

G                  A
 I wish I could forget it

Bm                               D
  It’s so hard I’ll never get it right

                 E5
Cold hearts on a colder night

Bm
  The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
