 C/ Em  
CPicture’s fading fast
memories don’t last
Don’t you dare to cry for meEm  
Don’t know me from your past
I tried to stay in touchC  
but them letters knew too much
my voice is always soar from singingEm  
all these things I cannot speak
to you
FI claim loser tGo this lifeAm  
every day I wake up alive
Fand there’s something in the wayG  
people look at me those daysAm  
can’t step out of the darkness
cause you live inside my shades
FYou always used to say G  
“Life will find a way”C  
CThere’s wine and candlelights
and a full-moon here tonight
but the wine don’t taste the sameEm  
without you singing by my side
Spending my whole lifeC  
Just trying to survive
I never asked too much Em  
I just want to feel alive
FI claim loser tGo this lifeAm  
every day I wake up alive
FAnd there’s something in the wayG  
people look at me those daysAm  
Like they know I’ve lost my fire
Like they know I’ve lost my ways
FCan’t step out of the darknessG  
'cause you live inside my shadesAm  
and the sadness in your eyes
every morning something dies
FMy voice is soar from screamingG  
out regrets from yesterdayAm  
you always used to say F  
G“Life will find a way”C

I can’t stand the way
they all look at me those day
Like they know I’ve lost my fire
Like they know I lost my way
And I'm spending my whole life
Just trying to survive
What if they all knew
what if they knew about you

and how you always used to say
life will find a way
Vers hum
Life will find a way
