A#m
They would yell, they would scream, they were fighting it out
F#
She would hope, she would pray, she was waiting it out
G#                                             F#
Holding on to a dream, while she watches these walls fall down
A#m
Sharp words like knives, they were cutting her down
F#
Shattered glass like the past it’s a memory now
G#                                             F#
Holding on to a dream, while she watches these walls fall down

Chorus:
C#                                  G#
Hey mum, hey dad, when did this end?
                                 A#m
When did you lose your happiness?
                              F#
I’m here alone inside of this broken home
C#                                         G#
Who’s right, who’s wrong, who really cares?
                                           A#m
The fault, the blame, the pain’s still there
                               F#
I’m here alone inside of this broken home
                A#m
This broken home

Wrote it down on the walls, she was screamin' it out
Made it clear she's still here, are you listening now?
Just a ghost in the halls, feelin' empty, they're vacant now (Oh)
All the battles, all the wars, all the times that you've fought
She's the scar, she's the bruises, she's the pain that you brought
There was life, there was love like a light and it's fading out

Chorus:
Hey, mum, hey, dad, when did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
Who's right? Who's wrong? Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain's still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
This broken home

A#m
You’ve gotta let it go
F#
You’re losing all your hope
C#
Nothing left to hold
G#
Locked out in the cold
A#m
You painted memories
F#
Then washed out all the scenes
C#
I’m stuck in between
G#
a nightmare and lost dreams

Hey, mum, hey, dad, when did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home

Chorus:
Hey, mum, hey, dad, when did this end?
When did you lose your happiness?
I'm here alone inside of this broken home (Broken home)
Who's right? Who's wrong? Who really cares?
The fault, the blame, the pain's still there
I'm here alone inside of this broken home
This broken home
