[Intro]
 Dm   Am   GX2
[Verse 1]
DmTake the rose that you Amleft on the window sill
GTake it back, and bury it inside my brain
DmAnd you left me to Amdie not wanting to care
GAbout the life you shattered of mine
DmSo I won't fearAm  
GThe tears and the sweat and the blood
DmFrom a shattered soulAm  
GTattered and beaten, I'm blind within the cold of the fold
Dm  Am
GLost between the cold of the fold
[Verse 2]
DmI shed a tear Amabout the distant memories
GOf things we shared, of things you said that we would be
DmAnd now it's all just so Amfalse, but in the way of my life
GLiving dreams through the times I've lost in the strife
DmIt's too much pain, Amtoo much pain, Gtoo much pain...
DmLost in the liesAm  
GSharing the pain, Sharing the lies I hide
DmNow I'll never stop Amcaring about you
GAnd lies and the dreams of the hopes that were forged within you
DmWant to know, want to Amfeel, want to see love again
GTo be a man once more, not a shell full of sand
Dm           Am
GJust a shell full of sand
DmNothing much left of my soul
[Breakdown]
 Dm   Dsus2X4
 Am   Asus2X2
G
[Outro]
DmIf I could care once more  AmI'd take it all back
GJust to have one more chance To fill in the cracks
DmBut it fades in Ambetween my life now
GNothing much left of my soul
DmNothing left but the old

[Intro]

Dm Am G

[Verse 1]

Dm Am

Take the rose that you left on the window sill

Take it back, and bury it inside my brain

Dm Am

And you left me to die not wanting to care

About the life you shattered of mine

Dm Am

So I won't fear

The tears and the sweat and the blood

Dm Am

From a shattered soul

Tattered and beaten, I'm blind within the cold of the fold

Dm Am

Lost between the cold of the fold

[Verse 2]

Dm Am

I shed a tear about the distant memories

Of things we shared, of things you said that we would be

Dm Am

And now it's all just so false, but in the way of my life

Living dreams through the times I've lost in the strife

Dm Am G

It's too much pain, too much pain, too much pain...

Dm Am

Lost in the lies

Sharing the pain, Sharing the lies I hide

Dm Am

Now I'll never stop caring about you

And lies and the dreams of the hopes that were forged within you

Dm Am

Want to know, want to feel, want to see love again

To be a man once more, not a shell full of sand

Dm Am

Just a shell full of sand

Nothing much left of my soul

[Breakdown]

Dm Dsus2

Am Asus2

[Outro]

Dm Am

If I could care once more I'd take it all back

Just to have one more chance To fill in the cracks

Dm Am

But it fades in between my life now

Nothing much left of my soul

Nothing left but the old
