[Verse]
Em Am
I've been lost, alone in a crowd
Em G C
Can't remember when the silence got so loud

We believe, but what do we know?
Em G C Bm
All the things we bottle up will one day start to overflow
[Chorus]
Em C
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
Em C
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
Em
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this
C
way It kills to hear you say
Em D C
"I can't stand to see you like this"
[Verse]
Em Am
We took a chance, a shot in the dark
Em G C
Let it echo like the rattle of a hollow heart
Em
I thought I had everything that meant something to me
Am Em
I wasn't ready to face what I want, what I need
C
Now I need to escape
C
The grass is greener, they told me, if you wait
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
I feel the lifeblood freezing in my veins
Am Em D
The antidote is just the poison by another name
[Chorus]

No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind

way It kills to hear you say

'Cause it's more than I can take"

I never had the clarity of mind
B C
To recognize that time was never on my side
[Breakdown]
Em
(I am not what I think, I am not what I feel)
Em
I'm addicted, afflicted and I'm dying to heal, I said
Em
I lost years to future fears
(This can't happen again, it cannot happen again)
Em
Now I'm fearing the worst
C Am
I'll break my habits if they don't break me first
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
But still I just can't seem to catch my breath
Am
And the things I love, I hold so tight
Em
I strangle them to death
[Chorus]
Em C
Where do I shelter when it's raining inside?
Em C
No peace and quiet from the noise in my mind
Em
I don't bend, I break, I can't go on this
C
way It kills to hear you say
Em D C
"I can't stand to see you like this
C
'Cause it's more than I can take"
