Not a very hard song,

though I'm not sure about the pre-chorus and bridge,

so if you have suggestions, please comment!

Capo 3

Intro:

Em D C

(2x)

Em D C

All of the noise inside our room is quiet with rage

Em D C

And both of our minds are unsure

Em D C

To all of these ears outside our walls Our home is ours.

Em D C

Where love seemed to feel our hearts.

Pre-chorus

D Am

But these pictures can tell lies

D Am

And my words will still fall short

D Am

And my heart lays disguised

I’m sorry I -,

Chorus

C G

Never meant to make you cry

Em D

Never meant to make you love me

C G

Now I’m wide awake with open eyes

Em D

Lost in all the love that we shared.

C G

Oh, I’m sorry that you even care

Em D

Break these chains and walk without me.

Em D C

Your eyes are red, The lie was born, stole our truth

Em D C

Beneath all your joy, lay my despair.

Em D C

Behind all these clouds, There is no sun to raise its head

Em D C

The love we have left is just yours.

Pre-chorus

D Am

But these pictures can tell lies

D Am

And my words will still fall short

D Am

And my heart lays disguised

I’m sorry I -,

Never meant to make you cry

Em D

Never meant to make you love me

C G

Now I’m wide awake with open eyes

Em D

Lost in all the love that we shared.

C G

Oh, I’m sorry that you even care

Em D

Break these chains and walk without me.

Bridge

Em C D

All our ways were paved with gold

But built upon the sand

Em D

And we could climb above the water

And rest upon the land.

Em G

It’s up to you, you make the choice

D C

For I could stay if you need

Em D

For our home, for your heart.

C G

Em D

Chorus

C G

Never meant to make you cry

Em D

Never meant to make you love me

C G

Now I’m wide awake with open eyes

Oh, I’m sorry that you even care

Em D

Break these chains and walk without me.
