A currency of heartache and sorrow
The air we breathe is stale with mold
To shadows we are slaves digging deeper every day
But emptiness is growing so old
C#m A#m F#m
Headlamps light the tunnels we wander
C#m A#m F#m
They shimmer and they dance on the walls
C#m E F#m
We're lost inside these caves as the chances of escape
E F#m C#m
Grow slimmer 'til there's no chance at all
A
This ink, it travels from the page
F#m
Up my hand and to my veins
C#m B
Choking on those stories I've told
A
If there are words here left to say
F#m B A
I just want to let you know
B C#m
I'm falling on my knees right now
E A
I'm covered in the mess I made
B C#m
These colors used to wash right out
E A
But now they are a part of me
B C#m
And I've been searching for a remedy
E
When all along it's been in front of me
A B
I need you here, I need you

now Right now
C#m A#m F#m
We traffic in the blackest of markets
C#m A#m F#m
Trade misery like diamonds and gold
C#m E F#m
The angst that we exchange for applause or petty praise
E F#m C#m
Is finally now taking its toll
A
But there's a world above the ground
F#m
A life that we can lead
C#m B
We're washing off the dirt from our clothes
A
I don't want to live without
F#m B A
I just wanna let you know
B C#m
I'm falling on my knees right now
E A
I'm covered in the mess I made
B C#m
These colors used to wash right out
E A
But now they are a part of me

And I've been searching for a remedy

When all along it's been in front of me

I need you here, I need you

now Right now
C# E
(Black stains) they mark me like a letter
B
(Won't fade) cracking under the pressure
A B
(Black stains) nothing stays gold
[Pre-Chorus]
A
There's a world above the ground
F#m
A life that we can lead
C#m B
But we're lost deep down in these holes
A
And I've seen the way out
F#m B A
Now I just want to let you know
B C#m
I'm falling on my knees right now
E A
I'm covered in the mess I made
B C#m
These colors used to wash right out
E A
But now they are a part of me
B C#m
And I've been searching for a remedy
E A
When all along it's been in front of me
B C#m E
Your voice it washes the stains away
A B
Whoa oh oh oh oh oho
C#m E
Whoa oh oh oh oh oho
A B
Whoa oh oh oh oh oho
A (single strum)
Oho oho
