Intro
Dm Am G X2
[Verso 1]
Dm Am
Take the rose that you left on the window sill
G
Take it back, and bury it inside my brain
Dm Am
And you left me to die not wanting to care
G
About the life you shattered of mine
Dm Am
So I won't fear
G
The tears and the sweat and the blood
Dm Am
From a shattered soul
G
Tattered and beaten, I'm blind within the cold of the fold
Dm Am
G
Lost between the cold of the fold
[Verso 2]
Dm Am
I shed a tear about the distant memories
G
Of things we shared, of things you said that we would be
Dm Am
And now it's all just so false, but in the way of my life
G
Living dreams through the times I've lost in the strife
Dm Am G
It's too much pain, too much pain, too much pain...
Dm Am
Lost in the lies
G
Sharing the pain, Sharing the lies I hide
Dm Am
Now I'll never stop caring about you
G
And lies and the dreams of the hopes that were forged within you
Dm Am
Want to know, want to feel, want to see love again
G
To be a man once more, not a shell full of sand
Dm Am
G
Just a shell full of sand
Dm
Nothing much left of my soul
[Ponte]
Dm Am G
[Refrão]
Dm Am
If I could care once more I'd take it all back
G
Just to have one more chance To fill in the cracks
Dm Am
But it fades in between my life now
G
Nothing much left of my soul
Dm
Nothing left but the old
