Intro: F G Am Em
F G Am Em
Well she won't leave this night alone
F G Am Em
And she won´t sleep at all
F G
And all the sorrow that she takes out on herself
Am Em
It comes around and leaves her bleeding on the floor
F G
And she knows, yeah she knows
Am Em
That there's a lot of ugly things about this world
F G Am
These street lights, they shine bright
Em F
As they illuminate the darkness of the pavement
G Am
They shine, as we try
To write it on her arms
Em F
The love she longs to taste
G Am
And we'll find that inside
Em
That she's a broken heart that anyone could save
F G Am Em
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
F G Am
Feeling worthless, self-destruction
Em F
Try to take control of this
G Am
Find a purpose, reconstruction
Em F
Write it somewhere it will stick
G Am
And stars are hiding now
Em F
But there's something out there still
G Am
And she knows, yeah she knows
Em
That there's an awful lot of beauty in this world.
