Verse 1:
 
F Am7 Dm7
Beautiful garden, where have you gone?
 
F Am7 Dm7
My self-delusions are leaving me in a storm
 
F Am7 Dm7
Taken for granted, all the goodness that I found
 
F Am7 Dm7
Somewhere I lost all the control, came crashing down
 
[Refrão]
 
F Dm7
And I pray for forgiveness, look for the answers
 
C
'Cause it's hard for me to pretend
 
F Dm7
Look to my mother, call to the captain
 
C
Can't you see, this state that I'm in?
 
F Dm7
And no one would know this, nobody noticed
 
C
'Cause it's me, where it begins
 
Verse 2:
 
F Am7 Dm7
Beautiful morning, please don't wake me from my sleep
 
F Am7 Dm7
'Cause I need some comfort to regain my sanity
 
F Am7 Dm7
And I don't want to feel this crazy, I don't want to feel discarded
 
Am9
Shattered in a million pieces, I'm so broken-hearted
 
Am7 Dm7
Nowhere left to run, nowhere left to go so
 
[Refrão]
 
F Dm7
And I pray for forgiveness, look for the answers
 
C
'Cause it's hard for me to pretend
 
F Dm7
Look to my mother, call to the captain
 
C
Can't you see, this state that I'm in?
 
F Dm7
And no one would know this, nobody noticed
 
C
'Cause it's me, where it begins
 
And I pray for forgiveness within
 
Bridge:
 
Dm9 Am7 C Dm9
I swear that every day I feel like my mind is haunting me
 
Am7 C Dm9
I think of every little stupid mistake that has been made
 
Am7 C Dm9
This time I don't have the strength to gather myself
 
Am7
I'm falling to pieces
 
[Refrão]
 
F Dm7
And I pray for forgiveness, look for the answers

looking for justice

Searching for answers,
 
C
call to my mother

Pray for forgiveness,

Nobody knows this, nobody noticed

That it's me, where it begins.
