                           Verse

Em        G             D
Walked away.. heard them say.. 
           Am              C
"Poisoned hearts will never change.. 
 G             Em
Walk away, again".. 
Em        G          D
Turned away, in disgrace.. 
         Am        C
Felt the chill upon my face.. 
G                Em
Cooling from, within..

Am            C
Hard to notice.. 
B5          Am
Gleaming from the sky.. 
C           Am      D--->let it ring
When you're staring at the cracks.. 

Em          G
Hard to notice.. 
D    Am     C 
What is passing by.. 
G               Em
With eyes lowered, You ..

"Poisoned hearts will never change.. 
 G             Em
Walk away, again"..  


Bridge (i think)       (Palm Muted Verse)
      
All the cracks they will lead, right to me.. 

and, All the cracks will crawl right through me.. 



(Same as verse...strum)

All the cracks they lead, right to me..

And I fell apart...

Poisoned hearts will never change.. 
 G             Em
Walk away, again.. 
Em        G          D
Turned away, in disgrace.. 
         Am        C
Felt the chill upon my face.. 
G                Em
Cooling from, within..
