Em G C G  X2


Em                  G                    C                  G
In the corner of my living room lies the ring she threw behind
Em                      G                        C                      G
I can’t bring myself to pick it up, you know she still might change her mind
Em                   G       C                G
Every morning around 6am the sun hits it just right
Em                 G                C              G
I’ll spend another day in hell just waiting on the night


Em G C G


Em                   G                        C           G
I see the way people look at me, I guess it’s all over my face
Em             G                        C            G
The scar above my left eye is something I just can’t erase
Em                       G              C                       G
I try to look in someone else’s mirror, try to find a different view
Em             G                        C             G
Oh it’s really sad to say, but it’s all I got left of you


Chorus:
     C                                             G
Well I’m the lone survivor of the wreckage that is left
C                                              G
I brought the walls down baby, I made all this mess
C                          Asus2
Lying in the ashes, I must confess
       n/c          Em   G C G
Oh you had me at my best


Em                 G                    C                  G
The pain sometimes disappears, but your memories are never gone
Em                   G                  C           G
I lock myself in our bedroom cause it’s best if I’m alone
Em                 G               C                 G
I’ve been falling asleep in my old chair with the TV on
Em                  G                   C                G
Cause our bed won’t let me sleep, cause love is all it’s known
