  			verse 1 
Am                 Em 
You can throw your conscience away 
Am                  Em 
Just to land a good part in the play 
F               Em 
Maybe there's a reason 
F                Em 
That you feel so empty 

Am                 Em 
Broken bottles and junk on the floor 
Am                            Em 
It's hard to notice when your eye's on the score 
F             Em 
If you burn a picture 
F             Em 
To obtain the ashes 
F                   Em               Am 
A bit of wind could blow what's left away 

Am  Em  Am  Em  F  Em  F  Em 

verse 2 
Am                   Em 
You could leave your heart at the door 
Am                       Em 
You could waste all your time on a mourn 
F                Em 
You could play a victim 
F           Em 
To a broken mirror 

Am                 Em 
You could sell yourself for a dime 
Am                 Em 
Step on anyone who borrows your time 
F              Em 
You could be a hero 
F             Em 
To your own reflection 
F                   Em               G 
You could feed your head with empty praise 


Reprise 
F            Em 
If you burn a picture 
F             Em 
To obtain the ashes 
F             Em             Am 
You resign to throw yourself away

Outro 
Ab            Am C               F 
There's another, there's another light 
Ab            Am C               F 
There's another, there's another light 
Ab            Am C               F 
There's another, there's another light 
Ab            Am C               F 
There's another, there's another light 
Ab            Am C               F   Ab  Am  F 
There's another, there's another light...
