G              D                              Em D 
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay 
G              D                                Em D 
Forever haunted, more than afraid 
G              D                                Em D 
Asphyxiate on words I would say 
G                         D                       Em     C 
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue 
 
Em                D                                   G 
There are no flowers, no, not this time 
G                         C                              D                               C 
There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find 
Em                D                         G 
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak 
G                    C                            D                 C 
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me 
 
Interlude: G D Em D G D Em C 
 
G             D                                      Em D

G               D                                   Em  D 
Just like all I loved, I'm make believe 
G              D                    Em 
Imagined heart, I disappear 
Em      D G                 D                                 Em C 
Seems... no one will appear here and make me real 
 
Em                D                                   G 
There are no flowers, no, not this time

There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find 
Em                D                         G 
I'd show a smile but I'm too weak 
G                    C                            D                 C 
I'd share for you, could I only speak, just how much this hurts me 
 
Interlude 2: Em 
Em 
I'd tell you how it haunts me 
Am 
I'd tell you how it haunts me 
Am 
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams 
Em 
I'd tell you how it haunts me 
Em 
Cuts through my day and sinks into my dreams 
Am 
You don't care that it haunts me

There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find

Just how much you...
