          F#5                 A5   D5/ E5  
How can you say your life is empty
 D5/ E5  
So late in the day
         F#5                 A5   D5/ E5  
Why would you stay another second
 D5/ E5  
Now your sight got in the way
             F#5          A5   D5/ E5  
              A combination
  D5/ E5  
Of love and aggression
         F#5          A5   D5/     E5   D5/ E5  
     Another second lived
             F#5                A5   D5/ E5  
Don't paint the silence black now save me
 D5/ E5  
Don't leave it a day
            F#5                A5   D5/ E5  
You got a right to stand or die so maybe
  D5/ E5  
You take chances all the same
       F#5                A5   D5/       E5   D5/ E5  
          Pain comes in stages
If we don't F#5make itA5  
   D5/      E5   D5/ E5  
Nothing changes
Chorus:
NoF#5w the violence A5sleeps inside
       D5/                E5   D5/ E5  
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
                        F#5              A5   D5/      E5   D5/ E5  
It's the reason why your teething side frustrates me
NoF#5w the violence A5sleeps inside
       D5/                E5   D5/ E5  
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
                F#5         A5   D5/      E5   D5/ E5  
It's the reason why your teething side irates me
               F#5               A5   D5/     E5  
Don't leave me to pick up on your questions
    D5/ E5  
Not even a day
                   F#5          A5   D5/ E5  
It's alright to finish up your sentence
    D5/ E5  
You talk all the same
          F#5       A5   D5/ E5  
Pain comes in stages
         F#5         A5   D5/       E5   D5/ E5
