Intro: C#5  A9  F#  A9  B5  C#5 (2x)

C#5      A9         F#m 
A long day alone 
          A9  B5    C#5 
The emptiness is so real 
       A9              F#m 
Never having peace of mind 
          A9    B5        C#5 
Running from what I can't see 
              A9             F#m 
And there is nowhere left to hide 
           A9        B5    C#5 
Turn and face these empty eyes 
      A9            F#m              A9 
All alone, heart untold, trying to find 

B5       C#m 
Break me down 
     A9             F# 
Replace this fear inside 
           A9      B5       C#m 
Take this nothingness from me 
            A9              F#              A9 
I want to find, I want to shine, I want to rise 
B5 
Break me down 
            C#5

I try to find myself 
               A9      B5       C#5 
I find the stranger trapped inside 
            A9            F#m 
And I take one more step away 
        A9             B5     C#5 
From a face I used to recognize 
           A9             F#m 
Familiar shadows closing in 
        A9     B5       C#5 
A suffocating fear descends 
           A9              F#              A9 
It comes alive, uncovered eyes, trying to find 

B5       C#m 
Break me down 
     A9             F# 
Replace this fear inside 
           A9      B5       C#m 
Take this nothingness from me 
            A9              F#              A9 
I want to find, I want to shine, I want to rise 
B5       C#m 
Break me down 
     A9             F# 
Replace this fear inside 
           A9      B5       C#m 
Take this nothingness from me 
            A9              F#              A9 
I want to find, I want to shine, I want to rise
