F# DM7 E
F# DM7 E
Bm F#m F#madd11 F#madd9
[Verse 1]
F#m7                Faug
Where do I go from here?
E7             DM7
How do I disappear?
                D
Here beyond the looking glass
                 C#m
Somewhere off the beaten path
                DM7      Bm         C#sus4 C#
Heartache never seems to pass, just lasts
        F#m
And I'd go
[Chorus]
                  DM7                   E                F#
Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise
                        DM7
Stay real close and the moment will subside
               Bm                     C#m7
Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
                DM7
I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
             E
Just conceal myself and hide
  C#             F#
A portrait of my life
F#          DM7      E           F#
La da da da da da da da da da da da
            DM7      E           F#m
La da da da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 2]
F#m7             Faug
Somewhat desensitized
E7                    C#
Still the same hopeful child
                 D
Haunted by those severed ties
                 C#m
Pushing past the parasites
             Bm7
Down but not demoralized
     C#sus4 C#         F#M7
Unconfined, but don't let go
[Chorus]
                 DM7
Yes I know that tomorrow comes
        E                 F#
So I'll be here when you rise (Rise)
                        DM7
Stay here close and the moment will subside
               Bm                     C#m7
Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
                 DM7
I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
                C#sus4
Just conceal myself and hide
     C#
A portrait of my life
[Bridge]
   G                       F#m
And for the finale, she can float around effortlessly
    G7                          Bm7   C#7
And dream away the hours in her mind
          F#
And I let go
[Chorus]
                  DM7                   E                F#
Yet I know that tomorrow comes, so I'll be here when you rise
                        DM7
Stay here close and the moment will subside
               Bm7                     C#m
Look the other way as I bottle myself up inside
               Bm
I won't let the teardrops spill tonight
             C#sus4
Just conceal myself and hide
       C#7           F#
This portrait of my life
