Intro: E5 A5/E C/E G x2 


       E5     A5/E 
You're weak,  
            C/E     G 
broken in a motel, 
        E5     A5/E 
and you blink, 
A5/E 
and tears are falling  
C/E          G 
down, down, down 

       E5     A5/E 
You're free, 
                 C/E      G 
Free inside your own hell. 
        E5      A5/E 
And you speak, 
               C/E       G 
someone let me out out out 


(Pre-Chorus) Pluck these chords 


    E                 Esus4                 
And I can't stop this pain  
          C G 
It only grows 
E             Esus4            C   G 
Tell me why I always feel alone 
    E                  Esus4 
And I can't fight this feeling  
    C    G 
Anymore 
E                Esus4           C  G  
Show me what I'm really living for 


        E                              Am   
I wanna love, wanna live, wanna breathe 
Am          C     G 
Wanna give, you 
         E 
But it's hard when it's dark 
                 Am              C 
and you're doomed from the start, 
      G 
you, 

        E                              Am   
I wanna love, wanna live, wanna breathe 
Am          C     G 
Wanna give, you 
         E 
But it's hard when it's dark 
          Am            
and we're falling apart  
C      G 
you, 


verse 2 
     E5     A5/E 
Your dreams, 
            C/E         G 
slowly turn against you, 
     E5   A5/E 
your feet, sink into the, 
C/E             G  
ground, ground, ground, 
        E5    A5/E 
And you bleed, 
           C/E       G 
Naked in a black room, 
    E5      A5/E 
You scream, 
               C/E       G 
Someone let me out, out, out 

(Pre-Chorus)  

    E                 Esus4                 
And I can't stop this pain  
          C G 
It only grows 
E             Esus4            C   G 
Tell me why I always feel alone 
    E                  Esus4 
And I can't fight this feeling  
    C    G 
Anymore 
E                Esus4           C  G  
Show me what I'm really living for 


        E                              Am   
I wanna love, wanna live, wanna breathe 
Am          C     G 
Wanna give, you 
         E 
But it's hard when it's dark 
                 Am              C 
and you're doomed from the start, 
      G 
you, 

        E                              Am   
I wanna love, wanna live, wanna breathe 
Am          C     G 
Wanna give, you 
         E 
But it's hard when it's dark 
          Am            
and we're falling apart  
C      G 
you,
