Verse 1:

C
House full of roses
  Ab
A letter on the stairs
C
A tape full of messages
    Ab
For anyone who cares
  Bb
Collage of broken words
    Ab
and stories full of tears
  Bb
Remembering your life
         Ab
Cause we wish that you were here

C
Nothing is harder
        Ab
Than to wake up all alone
C
Realize it's not okay
         Ab
It's the end of all you know
Bb
Time keeps passing by
       Ab
But it seems I'm frozen still
Bb
Scars are left behind
    Ab
But some too deep to feel

Chorus:

Cm                           
And some say this can't be real
Ab                                  Bb 
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
Bb             Eb           G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When alls gone and can't be regained
Ab                                    Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
Bb             Eb           G       Cm...
We're all just victims of a crime

Verse 2:

C
Some days you'll find me
       Ab
In the place I like to go
C
Ask questions to myself
          Ab
'Bout the things I'll never know
Bb
What's left to find
         Ab
'Cause I need a little more
Bb
I need a little time
       Ab
Can we even up the score?

Chorus:

Cm                           
And some say this can't be real
Ab                                  Bb 
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
Bb             Eb           G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When alls gone and can't be regained
Ab                                    Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
Bb             Eb           G      
We're all just victims of a crime

Cm                     Ab
And nothing lasts forever
Ab                       Eb
For all good things it's true
Eb                   G
I'd rather trade it all
G                   Cm
For somehow saving you
Cm                     Ab
And must have been the season
Ab                   Eb
That threw us out of line
Eb              G
Once i stood so tall
G                       Eb
Now I'm searching for a sign
Eb                     Bb
So don't need your salvation
Bb                Cm
With promises and kind
Cm                 Ab
And all those speculation
Ab                        Eb
Save it for another time
Eb                    Bb
Cause we all need a reason
Bb                Cm
A reason just to stay
Cm                   Ab
Some just can't be bothered
Ab                          Cm
To stick around another day

And some say this can't be real
Ab                                  Bb 
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
Bb             Eb           G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When alls gone and can't be regained
Ab                                    Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
Bb             Eb           G      
We've all been victims of a crime
Eb           G
Victims of a crime
Eb               G
Living with this crime
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
