Another lFate night ride to the morAning light
DmBut I'm holding tight to keBbep me sane
Another rFuthless fight trying to dAecompress
DmBeen crushed by the giants been Bbslave to the meds
And if tiFme stood still I couldn't Acare less
Nothing drDmies in the cold, nothBbing shines in the dark
EverythinFg burns with all the dreaAms I had

45 weeks still stuck in bed

With a crushed down body and a war in my head

Broken again and not a day goes by

Not a tear goes dry they just river down the scars

Of my aging flesh, no sleep no rest

Feels like an elephant dropped like a bomb

on my chest, I guess

It's time to confess I would rather burn

than settle for this

Dm Bb

Holding my breath to numb the pain

F A

Another late night ride to the morning light

Dm Bb

But I'm holding tight to keep me sane

F A

Another ruthless fight trying to decompress

Been crushed by the giants been slave to the meds

And if time stood still I couldn't care less

Nothing dries in the cold, nothing shines in the dark

Everything burns with all the dreams I had

Seconds beat the hour then days that fled

F A

All the hopes I had they hang from a thread

Dm Bb

Embrace the change and train the pain

F A

Then learn to live from scratch again

Focus on what may lie ahead

F A

Be proud of the scars but let them fade in the past

Dm Bb

Count your life by the times we bled

A painful reminder we fought the rest

[Chorus]

This life is hard but it's allright
