A C#
in the night i sit alone
A
lifeless to the world i know
C#
faith loss long ago
A
in this graveyard i’m calling home
C#
carved into the stone
A
a diary of broken bones and
C#
words i should’ve known

A C#
but this grave’s too deep to ever make it up

i’d do anything , anything
A C#
just to feel like i could reach the ground
B
i’d do anything , anything now
A B
to spread these wings somehow
A B
i scream these words so loud
A B
but they never make a sound

G#
i’m alive
A E
but i’m barely breathing now
G#
so place my heart under the ground
A E
lay me down
G#
i’m alive
A E
but i’m barely breathing now
G#
so drag my lungs into the ground
A E
lay me down

A C#
in the night i sit alone
A
the stars rain on the world below
C#
beg me to explode
A C#
cuz dreams i keep are nowhere to be found
A
i’d do anything , anything just to stop
C#
this weight from pressing down
B
i’d do anything anything now
A B
to spread these wings somehow
A B
i scream these words so loud
A B
but they never make a sound

G#
i’m alive
A E
but im barely breathing now
G#
so place my heart under the ground
A E
lay me down
G#
i’m alive
A B
but im barely breathing now
G#
so drag my lungs into the ground
A E
lay me down

C#
deep enough so that i’ll never feel again
B
from beneath and in chance in breaking skin
C#
i’m giving in

all the promise of smiles and happiness
B
that’s a dream i’m not willing to admit
A
i’m not ready yet
B
to face regret
A
no i’m not ready yet
E
i’m not ready yet
F# A
no . .

B
i’d do anything now
A B
so spread these wings somehow
A B
i scream these words so loud
A B
but they never make a sound

G#
i’m alive
A E
but i’m barely breathing now
G#
so place my heart under the ground
A B
lay me down
G#
i’m alive
A E
but i’m barely breathing now
G#
tread my lungs into the ground
A E
lay me down
