INTRO:
G D Am C D G
VERSE 1
G D Am
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
C G D
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
D G
See the liar that burns within my needing.
G D Am
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
C G
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
D
Instead I've found no meaning.
Chorus:
G D Am
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
C G
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
D Am
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
C G
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
D G D
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
VERSE2
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
Chorus:
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
Interlude:
G D Am C x2
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
