Intro Chords: 
Em G C G  X2 


Em                  G                    C                  G 
In the corner of my living room lies the ring she threw behind 
Em                      G                        C                      G 
I canâ??t bring myself to pick it up, you know she still might change her mind 
Em                   G       C                G 
Every morning around 6am the sun hits it just right 
Em                 G                C              G 
Iâ??ll spend another day in hell just waiting on the night 


Em G C G 


Em                   G                        C           G 
I see the way people look at me, I guess itâ??s all over my face 
Em             G                        C            G 
The scar above my left eye is something I just canâ??t erase 
Em                       G              C                       G 
I try to look in someone elseâ??s mirror, try to find a different view 
Em             G                        C             G 
Oh itâ??s really sad to say, but itâ??s all I got left of you
