Intro
Am F Dm

Verse
                    Am                                 F
Somebody give me a sign that everything is going as planned,
          Dm               Am                    F                Dm
And then everything falls away into the darkness of this shallow place.
     Am                                                        F
The detail is striking, the rooms cold and frightening, youll kick and youll scream
           Dm            Am                      F                Dm
Youll try everything to survive, but you should know your fate by now.


Pre-Chorus
F       G       Am      C            F      G
  They told me,     how I should be,    but I broke the mold somehow


Chorus
Am                                            F
Its too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
        C                              G                            Am
But I swear Ill be the one to let the world know what youve done to me.


Verse
Am                        F                 Dm                  Am
You, you know you gotta search yourself leave what you need for now
                      F            Dm
Its not the time or place youre searching for
Am                                                     F                Dm
All I can give them is my worst of intentions youre nothing to me and everyone can see that
Am                        F                Dm
Your lifes a lie, there's no where left to hide


Pre-Chorus
F       G       Am      C            F      G           Abm
  They told me,     how I should be,    but I broke the mold somehow


Chorus
Am                                            F
Its too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
        C                              G
But I swear Ill be the one to let the world know what youve done
Am                                            F
Its too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
        C                              G
But I swear Ill be the one to let the world know what youve done to me.

    Watch your back, youll lose yourself. This is a battleground!

 F            G   Abm
Your lifes a lie
