Intro: Bm A G (x4)
verse 1
Bm A G
I have a friend and when he sings, I cry
Bm A G
All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life
Bm A G
But I can't talk about old times tonight
Bm A G
'Cause round here the lights stay off all the time
D
It's seven o'clock
F#m
I already feel late
G
All the pain from my stress, I'm beating my chest
A
About decisions I've had to make
D
Well I breathe in like
F#m
And I breathe out light
G
Run my hands through my hair, see my breath in the air
A
Oh, I'm so tired of running
verse 2
Bm A G
When all your bad boys have gone sour
Bm A G
And you're shivering cold, alone in his shower
Bm A G
Oh baby that soap won't make you clean
Bm A G
Oh, screaming at Jesus just to let you bleed
D
It's seven-thirty
F#m
I can smell the candles burning
G
I could go to sleep now
A
I just wait 'till morning
D F#m
When the melodies come and sing me stories
G
Oh, birds that can talk
A
No, they're never boring
verse 3
Bm A G
Well, there's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver
Bm A G
And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her
Bm A G
So you down that cough syrup, you love feeling so screwed up
Bm A G
And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep
Bm A G
Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace
D
It's eight o'clock
F#m
She didn't eat today
G A
Yeah, hurting herself has never felt this great
D
Well, see that green hill, friend?
F#m
That's where I'm gonna be
G A
Watching glory coming in in the form of morning
verse 4
Bm A G
I was found on that dark hillside
Bm A G
With a certain painting by my side
Bm A G
Screaming "knock down the house of regret"
Bm A
Knock it down, pave it over,
G
'Till you feel younger and younger
Bm A
Knock it down, pave it over,
G
'Till you feel like a kid again
Bm A
Knock it down, pave it over
G
Till your heart's warmer and warmer
Bm A
Knock it down, pave it over
G
Till you wake up born again
