[VERSE 1]
   Em7Here I sBm7tand waAtching the dEm7awn; 
I’m thinking aBm7bout Amy lifEm7e.
It’s been up, it’s been dBm7own, Ait’s all fiEm7ne. 
            Bm7  AIt’s all finEm7e.
Searching for Bm7love, what a sAilly gamEm7e;
whatever it tBm7akes A– deceitEm7?
What’s right and what’s wBm7rong? AI have no clEm7ue.
         Bm7I hAave…   
[CHORUS]
Em7…something to clarify: I’m lBm7eaving it Aall behind.
There’s nEm7othing to justify, I’m just lBm7eaving it Aall behind!
There’s Em7no need for me to cry, when I’m Bm7leaving it Aall behind!
May Em7soul and mind edify, I’m lBm7eaving it Aall behinEm7d!      
yeeBm7ah……eaAah…eaEm7hBm7  A  
[VERSE 2]
    Em7When did the Bm7rain sAtart on mEm7e?
Why did the Bm7rain sAtart on mEm7e?
Where did the fBm7lames spAark on mEm7e? I don’t know.
       Bm7        AI don’t knoEm7w.
Ran through this Bm7maze of brAoken mEm7irrors;
fell through the grBm7ound, Astill faEm7lling.
In the end I wake Bm7up, and I’m stAill aslEm7eep. 
      Bm7I hAave…   
[CHORUS]
Em7…something to clarify: I’m lBm7eaving it Aall behind.
There’s nEm7othing to justify, I’m just lBm7eaving it Aall behind!
There’s Em7no need for me to cry, when I’m Bm7leaving it Aall behind!
May Em7soul and mind edify, I’m lBm7eaving it Aall behinEm7d!      
yeeBm7ah……eaAah…eaEm7hBm7  A  
[BRIDGE]
     AWhat did I saFy, wGhat did I dAo?
Why do I cCare? Can thA#is be truAe?
It’s not on my mFind, it Gis what it Ais. 
Just saying what I think is bliss.
[VERSE 3]
    Em7Some say “you’re bBm7etter off with a drAink or twEm7o;
take life as it Bm7is, time will Aease your paEm7in”.
Yeah, people tried fBm7ixing me; they rAan out of gEm7lue – 
      Bm7  Aout of the blEm7ue.
Wondering wBm7hat it’s gAonna Em7be;
a brand new Bm7day   A–   and lifEm7e?
A sound mind is Bm7all that I neAed to keeEm7p.
    Bm7And I hAave…
[CHORUS]

There’s nEm7othing to justify, I’m just lBm7eaving it Aall behind!

Ran through this maze of broken mirrors;

fell through the ground, still falling.
