View chords used in this chart
Intro C
C G
There's darkness out my window, the frost is at my door
C G
And the feelings I've been feeling, I don't feel 'em anymore
Am F C G
And I'm sorry if I'm vacant; it's just what I've become
Am F
'Cause I've bared these scars with open arms
C G
But, to cuts, I've become numb
F
And I don't mind
C G
'Cause I'll be just fine and things will be okay
Am F
Sometimes we get lost but always find our way
C G
If you could be my lighthouse, bring me back to shore
Am F
'Cause the stars that used to guide me don't guide me anymore
C G
As the memories start to fade like the pictures on the walls
C G
I'm waitin' for the earth to shake to watch them as they fall
Am F C G
As the glass hits the pavement and all things come to pass
Am F C G
You can bury me right upside down so this world can kiss my ass
F
'Cause I don't mind, ooh
C G
'Cause I will be just fine and things will be okay
Am F
I've been lost before but always found my way
C G
And you can be my lighthouse and bring me back to shore
Am F
'Cause the stars that used to guide me don't guide me anymore
C G
And you can be my lighthouse and shine your light on me
Am F
Bring me to your harbor before I'm lost to sea
C G
And you can be my lighthouse bring me back to shore
Am F
The stars that used to guide me don't guide me anymore
C
And you can be my lighthouse
