A5                       C5
You're simply saying everything if you will
       G5                                A5 C5
Take a pen and write my name on a friend
            G5
Who never cared to let me in
A5               C5
And take a vast revine that for
G5         
Three years swimmin' straight upstream
         A5              C5
And the wind...the wind won't drag me down the end

A5         C5   
You live inside my wall and I
     G5                                            A5 C5
I reach back, hit you harder than God falls
         G5
Christ, Amen, Amen, Amen
 A5            C5                G5                
You're such a line to break and I
                                                                               A5      C5
I'm so scared to make another mistake in the end

       G5                   D5    A5
But I just wanna be happy again Oh!
              C5   
Until it all falls down
                       D5
And where does that leave me?
        G5                                        D5
Well, things, things, I've got so many things to say
              C5                    D5   
And with a broken heart, and a straight face
             ( D5 )  Ring
I'm sayin' Brother, help me

A5             C5
It's just a natural phase that I
   G5
I go through and then it's taken away
          A5        C5    G5
And then BAM! BAM! I'm fixed
                   A5                      C5
Yeah, and I'm in another place to be where I
    G5
I can't sleep without the thought of me being so
A5     C5         G5
So damned sick

           D5                    A5
Take this song, take this song away
          C5
Until it all falls down
                          D5    
And where does that leave me?
         G5                                        D5
Well, things, things, I've got so many things to say
             C5                           D5
And with a broken heart and a straight face
                           G5
And he says Reach for the girl
                                  D5   
Reach for the girl and hold her close
                  C5             
Believe you can shine when you're silver
                    D5
And I promise you gold; I promise you gold
                      G5
And whenever you're dark inside
           D5
Don't let go; no, don't let go
                               C5                                                               D5
Remember there's rain and there's candy and Christmasy winter snow
                G5 
And remember I love you the same

And I'll strangle your pain
         D5
And he tells me to sing

and I sing, and I sing
           C5      Hold
For my brother who keeps me sane
                 D5     Hold          G5 D5 C5 G5 D5
And tells me everything will be OK. 

( D5 )          G5                 D5
Oh, I'm so alone God, I'm so alone
         C5              G5
I'm so alone I'm alone Yeah!
