Verse
F#
There is a darkness
G#
that sits in the back of your mind.
A#m
We spent our youth creating futures
C#
where we both would have our time.
F#
We were 15, so naive
G#
and blinded by possibilities.
A#m
We used to feel so alive,
C#
what dulled your shine?
[Chorus]
F# G#
But there has got to be a better way
A#m C#
then drowning in this hateful place.
F# G#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
A#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
C#
waiting to die.
[Verse]
F# G#
And at the bottom of every bottle
A#m
there is a silence,
C#
where you question
your existence.
F#
Denying the fact that maybe there is
G#
more to life than this.
[Chorus]
F# G#
But there has got to be a better way
A#m C#
then drowning in this hateful place.
F# G#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
A#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
C#
waiting to die.
[Bridge]
F# G#
And now the world
A#m
will never know
C#
the brother that I’ve
grown to love.
F#
And I blame myself
G#
cause I didn’t realize,
A#m
The sadness that consumed
C#
was always hidden by your smile.
F# G# A#m
February 11th, the darkest day.
C#
I hope your soul will rest easy,
and you’re no longer in pain.
[Chorus]
F# G#
But there has got to be a better way
A#m C#
then drowning in this hateful place.
F# G#
The look inside your mother’s eyes
A#m
when she found you blacked out on the couch,
C#
waiting to die.
