Em C G D
Em C
I was such a mess
G
The other day
D
I hurt myself to see
Em C
Oh, if you care

If you play
D
Like cracks in the mirror
C Cm
Oh, I slit my skin
G F
’Til I, I felt something real
C
Cause I was losing
D G
Losing my reflection
G D Em
There’s a hero in you
C
Inside of you
G D
Who'll resolve the doubt
B Em
But I’m asking why I’m still here
C D Em
Standing in the rain
( Em C G D )
Em
Did I fail you dear
C
Like painless suicide
G
You burried the creed
D
Beneath blood-red roses
C Cm
Had life, life had just begun
G F
I knew nothing could stay the same
C
But the feeling
D
Can the feeling last forever?

There’s a hero in you
C
Inside of you

Who'll resolve the doubt

But I’m asking why I’m still here

Standing in the rain

They said there’s a hero in you
Em
Who’d fight with fears
C G A
Who could set you free from pain
C
From the world
D G
In a world you’ve been left alone
D Em
There’s a hero in you
C
Inside of you
G D
Who'll resolve the doubt
B Em
But I’m asking why I’m still here
D
All by myself
C D Em
Feeling the touch of rain on my skin
