Verse: 

Dm                      C   G 
   I'm lying in my room 
Dm                        C   G 
   Back's against the wall 
Dm                       C   G 
   The voices in my head 
Dm                       C   G 
   Playing with my heart 

Dm                          C         G 
   They say the drink won't drown you 
Dm                            C      G 
   Smoke won't burn your eyes 
Dm                    C           G 
   Idle hands are the devil's playthings 
Dm                             C      G 
   Now the world starts to fall 



F            C 
  Moon never rises 
Gm            Bb 
  Stars don't shine

  Walking thru the darkness

  Until these days of sorrow pass on by
