Verse 1:
A
  All alone In the darkness of my room
             B
The sunlight bleeding through my blinds
        C#m
Like an angel's open wound
       A
On the outside (I seem fine)
           B
But on the inside (I'm not alright)
        B
Every decision that I make
              C#m
Just seems to be my worst mistake


Chorus:
 E     G#m           F#m
Away, away from everything that hurts
 E        G#m                F#m
Away from this pain I feel inside
 E
Struggling to bend these lips
  G#m             A
Into a smile I'll soon dismiss
   E                               G#m
My heart is not a place that I call home
       F#m         A
I just want to be alone


(Repeat Intro but only once)


Verse 2:
A
  Still alone In the darkness of my room
        B
Staring out between my blinds
             C#m
Watching the daylight be consumed
         A
Like the joy that (I once felt)
        B
Dealing with these (cards I'm dealt)
          B
When they said that life's not fair 
               C#m
They must have seen me sitting here


Bridge 1:
A                    B
  It's funny how one moment 
           C#m
can change everything
A                 C#m
  And in a second shatter 
      B                  A
every hope and dream you have
                      B
And leave you with an empty 
        C#m               A
feeling you can't seem to fill
                     B               G#/C
And empty space that only time might heal


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge 2:
E           F#m                 C#m
  Breath in deep and fill this chest with 
          A                    E
something more, more than emptiness
          G#m                C#m
Breath in deep and fill this chest with 
          A                    A
something more, more than emptiness


(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)


Chorus 2:
 E     G#m 
Away, away from everything that hurts
 C#m           A
Away from this pain I feel inside
 E     G#m 
Away, away from everything that hurts
 C#m        A
Away I just want to be alone


Outro: A--E(hold)
