INTR: A E C# B

      C#            A       E
It's too late the time has come
       B        F#       E       C#
I've kept this inside me way too long
              A         E
Silence will leave me cold
 B        F#             E           C#
Lost on a highway that never takes me home



A                 E                       C#                   B
 I want to step a side I want to give it up before I lose it all
A                 E                       C#                   B
 It's tearing me inside the way you break me down
A                 E                       C#                   B
 There will come a time when I will come undone and you let me fall
A                 E                       C#                   B
 I leave it all behind before you break me down


C#              A         E
The weight of a thousand lies
       B   F#         E          C#
A promise is broken on me all the time
C#              A         E
You say that you're sure to change
        B          F#             E                C#
But that black heart reveals that you always stay the same



A                 E                       C#                   B
 I want to step a side I want to give it up before I lose it all
A                 E                       C#                   B
 It's tearing me inside the way you break me down
A                 E                       C#                   B
 There will come a time when I will come undone and you let me fall
A                 E                       C#                   B
 I leave it all behind before you break me down


          A         F#               C#
And I've realized forgiveness is calling
     B   C#
And it's calling
       A        F#          C#
And I deny the reason I'm falling
    B   C#
Yeah I'm falling
    A     F#   C#
So let go


A                 E                       C#                   B
 I want to step a side I want to give it up before I lose it all
A                 E                       C#                   B
 It's tearing me inside the way you break me down
A                 E                       C#                   B
 There will come a time when I will come undone and you let me fall
A                 E                       C#                   B
 I leave it all behind before you break me down
