Am
it's not so much a storm,
Em
but just a cloud that lives inside of me
F G
he doesn't stir so easily these days,
E Am
but when he wakes he goes the distance
Em
in a marathon of days too long
F
open containers that sing songs,
G
"you'll never dream again,
E
but you can pray"
Am G F
i guess we only settle in to what we know
Am G F G
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
Am G
but there is comfort in a world
Am G Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
G F G
and cold is all we have to breathe
Am G
where affectations keep us company,
Am G Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
C F E Am
are somehow out of our control.
Am Em
it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me
F G
they don't give up too easily these days,
E Am
but when they break they go to pieces.
Em
fall apart right here in north side bars
F
under a sky that knows no stars
G
you'll never shine again,
E
but you will stay.
Am G F
i guess we only settle in to what we know
Am G F G
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
Am G
but there is comfort in a world
Am G Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
G F G
and cold is all we have to breathe
Am G
where affectations keep us company,
Am G Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
C F E
are somehow out of our control.
Am F Dm E F (4x)
Am G
but there is comfort in a world
Am G Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
G F G
and cold is all we have to breathe
Am G
where affectations keep us company,
Am G Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
C F
are somehow out of our control.
E Am
we lost control.
