[Verse]
She fell down the stCairs and opened her eFyes 
He’s over the eCdge this time
He’s aCll wound up from the niFghtmares
They mCake him lose his mGind
She’s disFtracted, Am  G  
Flost the sense of the uCrgenGcy tonFight, 
lost sense of the AmurgenGcy toniCght
[Verse]
For a couple of yCears she covered her eGyes
And she’d give him hCell sometimes
The mCakeup covered the bFruises, but sComehow made her bGlind
She got distFracted, Am  G  
Flost the sense of the uCrgenGcy in lFife, 
lost sense of the AmurgenGcy in lCife
Can she save hersAmelf, save her from the nGightmare, 
save her from the nFightmare hGe’s becCome
[Verse]
She looks up the stCairs, slips out the door
N.C.
The floor creaks so loud at night
The kCeys fumbling in the ignition
N.C. 
This ride could turn the tide
While he’s distFracted Am  G  
Fshe finds the uCrgent nGeed to survFive, 
she finds the uAmrgent nGeed to survCive
Can she save hersAmelf, save her from the nGightmare,

C F

She fell down the stairs and opened her eyes

He’s over the edge this time

He’s all wound up from the nightmares

They make him lose his mind

F Am G

She’s distracted,

F C G F

lost the sense of the urgency tonight,

Am G C

lost sense of the urgency tonight

[Verse]

For a couple of years she covered her eyes

And she’d give him hell sometimes

C F C G

The makeup covered the bruises, but somehow made her blind

F Am G

She got distracted,

F C G F

lost the sense of the urgency in life,

Am G C

lost sense of the urgency in life

Am G

Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare,

F G C

save her from the nightmare he’s become

[Verse]

She looks up the stairs, slips out the door

N.C.

The floor creaks so loud at night

The keys fumbling in the ignition

N.C.

This ride could turn the tide

F Am G

While he’s distracted

F C G F

she finds the urgent need to survive,

Am G C

she finds the urgent need to survive

Am G

Can she save herself, save her from the nightmare,

F G C

save her from the nightmare he’s become

Am G

She’s holding here, it’s tiring pretending

F G Am F C G

She’s tired from just waiting for it to end

on this side of town missing opportunities

She wants to brace herself just enough to sing a little louder every day, yeah

She just got distracted,

F C G F

but she’s finding the will and the strength to survive,

she’s finding the will and the strength to survive

Am G

And it saves her from, saves her from the nightmare,

F G C

saves her from the nightmare he’s become

She’s holding here,

she’s tired of pretending

F G C

Tired of just waiting for it to end
