Carry me in, held down by my words 
                      Am  E 
And the weight of my sins 
Am  E             Am E 
Fear, fear of myself 
            Am                           E 
Fear of myself, all these books on the shelf

All along the way

All along the way 
G              D 
All along the way

Run, run from my past 
              Am                         E 
Run from my past, I've got hooks in my back 
                       Am E 
From the first to the last

Am                       C 
They just look past my face 
G                       D 
They see that I'm not there 

Am                 C 
I fall into that hole

Down, down, down again 
Am             C 
All along the way

Dm                                  Gm 
Now, I see, it's me, my splintered eyes 
                                       Dm 
Climbing up the wall, waiting for the fall 
                               Gm 
Tonight, I think I'll lose my mind 
                          Dm 
Carry me away, carry me away 

Dm                            Gm 
I sit and watch the flowers grow 
                  Dm 
Someday, they'll die 
                            Gm 
I sit and watch the world below 
                          Dm 
Carry me away, carry me away
