VERSE begins =

       C
Comfort me
                           F
From a world where no one cares 
                           Dm       G
Where the words turn into cages 
                        C
And memories cut like glass 
             C
I closed my eyes on you
                   F
Put the blames on myself 
                       Dm        G
The weight is on my shoulders
                               C
Throw my heart in the wishing well


           Am                 C
I've got to face and tame my demons
    Am                  C
so hard to start over again,

yeah, I know.
 Am                       C
Through trials and tribulations
  G                          F
Salvation's like a long lost friend


      C                   G
I'll take back all of the hurt
          F                    C
For your love I've taken for granted
           G           F
I'll do anything to change
                   C
If that's what it takes

 

No use in pretending

Ain't no pride in it all

A cure for independence

Is when you're standing in the cold

Have I used have I used my chances

Have my bridges all been burned

Give me a sign of inspiration

To find a stone that's left unturned



         Am                 C
I see a distant promise of Eden
  Am                  C
Lifting my spirits so high
        Am                 C
If I can break out of the circle
      G                   F
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye



I'll take back all of the hurt

For your love I've taken for granted

I'll do anything to change

If that's what it takes 


(solo)play chords C/F/Dm/G/C and again listen to album for strumming pattern....


part 2
I've got to see a promise of Eden

Lifting my spirits so high

If I can break, break out of the circle

Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye

 C                         G
I'll take back all of the hurt   
          F                   C
For your love I've taken for granted
          G             F
I'll do anything to change , baby
                   C
If that's what it takes 
                      G
Take back all of the hurt
           F                   C
For your love I've taken for granted
          G          F
I'll do anything to change
                    C
If that's what it takes
                    C
If that's what it takes
