[Intro]

Em G C

D Bm C

[Verse]

From the fire in your words

To the dagger in your eye

I just have to lay my body down

Em C D

Go and lay my body down

I pretend to be asleep

But I know you hear me cry

I just have to lay my body down

Em C D

Go and lay my body down

But if I

Really want a change

Then I must admit

D C

That I'm the one to blame

[Chorus]

If I could break away

Cut the cord

For worse or better

If I could turn the page

At last and say

C D

Goodbye forever

But on the other side

Of yesterday

Beyond the heartache

What if all I am

Without the pain

Is empty hearted

I could break away

Oh, anything is better than this

I know

C D

Anything is better
