C
da-da //only once, after 2nd time of the intro, before the verse starts
[Verse 1]
C Am
It’s a complicated story
Dm
That we never talk about
G
But I see it in the mirrors
C
In the curtains of our house
Am
I don’t want you to be worried
Dm
That we’re running out of time
G
It doesn’t matter where we’re going
C
We can leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Am
Only when I see you cry
Dm
I feel conflicted in my mind
G C
It fills my heart up and it breaks me at the very same time
Am
When you open up the gates for me
Dm
And leave the world behind
G
We find proof of love is hidden
C
In the conflict of the mind
C Am Dm G
[Verse 1]
C Am
I remember how I’d find you
Dm
Fingers tearing through the ground
G
Were you digging something up
C
Or did you bury something down?
Am
In your soul, I found a thirst
Dm
With only salt inside your cup
G
In your eyes, I saw a longing
C
While I longed to lift you up
[Chorus]
Am
Only when I see you cry
Dm
I feel conflicted in my mind
G C
It fills my heart up and it breaks me at the very same time
Am
When you open up the gates for me
Dm
And leave the world behind
G
We find proof of love is hidden
C
In the conflict of the mind
C Am
Da-da-da-da-da
Dm
Da-da-da-da-da
G
Da-da-da-da-da

Don’t let your spirit die

This is just a conflict of the mind
Am
Is your heart alive?

You’ll overcome a conflict of the mind

Don’t let your spirit die

This is just a conflict of the mind

Is your heart alive?

You’ll overcome a conflict of the mind
