Verse 1 
Em 		                G 
I scraped my knees when I was praying 
Am                  D 
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like  
Em                            G 
It's getting harder to believe in anything  
Am                      D 
And just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts  
Em  			   G 
I wanna know what it'd be like  
Am			   D 
To find perfection in my pride  
			Em				 
To see nothing in the light?  
	     G		    Am 
But turn it off In all my spite  
            D 
In all my spite I'll turn it off  

G   		   D 
And the worst part is  
		Em 
Before it gets any better  
     C 
We're heading for a cliff  
G                     D 
And in the free fall I will realize  
Em                     C 
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

Em			G 
The tragedy it seems unending  
Am			D 
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending  
Em			G 
We're taking short cuts and false solutions  
Am		 D 
Just to come out the hero  
Em			   G 
Well I can see behind the curtain  
Am			          D 
The world's cranking, turning, so wrong the way we're working  
Em			G 
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent  
Am	            D 
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing  

G   		   D 
And the worst part is  
		Em 
Before it gets any better  
     C 
We're heading for a cliff  
G                     D 
And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom
