The sunlight Bbleeding through my blinds

Verse 2:
  AStill alone In the darkness of my room

Verse 1:

All alone In the darkness of my room

The sunlight bleeding through my blinds

Like an angel's open wound

On the outside (I seem fine)

But on the inside (I'm not alright)

Every decision that I make

C#m

Just seems to be my worst mistake

Chorus:

E G#m F#m

Away, away from everything that hurts

E G#m F#m

Away from this pain I feel inside

Struggling to bend these lips

Into a smile I'll soon dismiss

My heart is not a place that I call home

F#m A

I just want to be alone

(Repeat Intro but only once)

Verse 2:

Still alone In the darkness of my room

Staring out between my blinds

C#m

Watching the daylight be consumed

Like the joy that (I once felt)

Dealing with these (cards I'm dealt)

When they said that life's not fair

C#m

They must have seen me sitting here

Bridge 1:

A B

It's funny how one moment

C#m

can change everything

A C#m

And in a second shatter

B A

every hope and dream you have

And leave you with an empty

C#m A

feeling you can't seem to fill

B G#/C

And empty space that only time might heal

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge 2:

E F#m C#m

Breath in deep and fill this chest with

something more, more than emptiness

Breath in deep and fill this chest with

A A

something more, more than emptiness

(Repeat Chorus 1 except last line)

Chorus 2:

E G#m

Away, away from everything that hurts
