Amit's not so much a storm,
but just a Emcloud that lives inside of me
he Fdoesn't stir so easily these Gdays,
but when he Ewakes he goes the Amdistance
in a marathon of Emdays too long
open containers Fthat sing songs,
"you'll never dream aGgain,
but you can Epray"
i guess we Amonly settle Gin to what we Fknow
i guess we Amalways settle Gin, and we Fknow.G  
but there is Amcomfort in a Gworld
where Amdarkness is the Gonly thing we Amsee
and cold Gis all we have to FbreatheG  
where affecAmtations keep us Gcompany,
where the Amlies we tell to the Geyes that roll in Amdoubt 
are somehow Cout of our conFtrol. E  Am  
Amit's not about the scars, but more the Emcrowds that walk all over me
they Fdon't give up too easily these Gdays,
but when they Ebreak they go to Ampieces.
fall apart right here in Emnorth side bars
under a sky that Fknows no stars
you'll never shine Gagain,
but you will Estay.
i guess we Amonly settle Gin to what we Fknow
i guess we Amalways settle Gin, and we Fknow.G  
but there is Amcomfort in a Gworld
where Amdarkness is the Gonly thing we Amsee
and cold Gis all we have to FbreatheG  
where affecAmtations keep us Gcompany,
where the Amlies we tell to the Geyes that roll in Amdoubt 
are somehow Cout of our conFtrol.E

but there is Amcomfort in a Gworld
where Amdarkness is the Gonly thing we Amsee
and cold Gis all we have to FbreatheG  
where affecAmtations keep us Gcompany,
where the Amlies we tell to the Geyes that roll in Amdoubt 
are somehow Cout of our conFtrol.
Ewe lost conAmtrol.

it's not so much a storm,

but just a cloud that lives inside of me

F G

he doesn't stir so easily these days,

but when he wakes he goes the distance

in a marathon of days too long

open containers that sing songs,

"you'll never dream again,

but you can pray"

Am G F

i guess we only settle in to what we know

Am G F G

i guess we always settle in, and we know.

Am G

but there is comfort in a world

Am G Am

where darkness is the only thing we see

G F G

and cold is all we have to breathe

Am G

where affectations keep us company,

Am G Am

where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt

C F E Am

are somehow out of our control.

Am Em

it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me

F G

they don't give up too easily these days,

E Am

but when they break they go to pieces.

fall apart right here in north side bars

under a sky that knows no stars

you'll never shine again,

but you will stay.

Am G F

i guess we only settle in to what we know

Am G F G

i guess we always settle in, and we know.

Am G

but there is comfort in a world

where darkness is the only thing we see

G F G

and cold is all we have to breathe

where affectations keep us company,

where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt
