[Verse 1]
In the Amdead of night, I'm held in a Fgaze
My Fheart F/Ehas a Dmhabit of shedding Clight on my Amnumerous misFtakes
And they Fwear F/Gme Amdown allied with the ghosts of Fpain that keep me awake
FOh, F/Ethe Dmpast can paralCyze if you ponder the Ampaths you didn't Ftake
[Bridge]
  F  F/EWith the cDmhance to go back and amend every grievance
How Amcould I resist preventing my demons
From Dmever existing and making a mess
Of the Amlife that I could have had
[Chorus]
Would FI return to Cyou
  FTo the love I Cknew
Or would AmI have unDmdone
All the Amgood that gives Dmmisery E7meaning
And Fwhere could you have Cgone
 FThe only right I had Cwronged
Lost in the Amchapters we Dmchanged
Oh, dAmespite all my Dmskeletons, EI see
