[Intro]
Gm Eb Cm Eb
[Verse]
  GmCatch Ebme laughing
  Catch Cmme drinking past the dEbawn
  GmCatch Ebme singing
  Catch Cmme beaming—open Ebarmed
  GmDon’t watch Ebme weeping
  Don’t watch Cmme weep into my pEbalms
  GmDon’t watch Ebme leaving, I’ll be gCmoneEb  
  GmKiss Ebme mother, Kiss Cmme father
  Fore I Ebgo
  GmDon’t want to lEbeave you
  But I’m sCmorry... I can’t hEbold
[Chorus]
And you sEbee me, through the roses
Through the lBbights and the smoke and the scrFeen
I’m no one bEbetter
I’m no better than you and I'm scBbared
Just sFearching for truth
It’s not eEbasy, just being human
And the lBbights and the smoke and the scrFeens
Don’t make it bEbetter
I’m no stronger than you and I’m scBbared
I don't knFow what to do
I’m scEbared
[Verse]
N.C.
That I can’t pull through
  In the wCmeak of my sEboul
  GmThe temptEbation to look insCmide my wrist—it grBbows
  GmThe cuEbt is waiting
  The cuCmt is waxing in its hEbold
  GmThe clutch Ebof nothing
  The curse Cmof wanting
  Takes me whEbole
[Chorus]
And you sEbee me, through the roses
Through the lBbights and the smoke and the scrFeen
I’m no one bEbetter
I’m no better than you and I'm scBbared
Just sFearching for truth
It’s not eEbasy, just being human
And the lBbights and the smoke and the scrFeens
Don’t make it bEbetter
I’m no stronger than you and I’m scBbared
I don't knFow what to do
I’m scEbared
[Outro]
But we can pull thrEbough together
TogBbether, togFether
We can pull thrEbough together
TogBbether, togFether
We can pull thrEbough together
TogBbether, togFether
We can pull thrEbough together
TogBbether, togFether
