A                     Bm
Everybody’s got their demons,
F#m                  G
Even wide awake or dreaming.
A                       Bm
I’m the one who ends up leaving,
F#m        G
Make it okay.

A                  Bm
See a war I wanna fight it,
F#m                    G
See a match I wanna strike it,
A                 Bm
Every fire I’ve ignited
F#m          G
Fade into grey.

                A       Bm
   But now that I’m broken,
            F#m      G
   Now that you know it
             A       Bm
   Caught up in a moment.
           F#m    G
   Can you see inside?

Chorus:
            A          Bm         G
     ’Cause I’ve got a jet black heart
                                   A
     And there’s a hurricane underneath it,
               Bm       G
     Trying to keep us apart.
   D     A          Bm     G
     I write with a poison pen
                 D                  A
     But these chemicals moving between us
              Bm         G
     Are the reason to start again.

A                      Bm
Now I’m holding on for dear life,
F#m                             G
There’s no way that we could rewind,
    A                        Bm
Maybe there’s nothing after midnight
     F#m              G
That could make you stay.

                A       Bm
   But now that I’m broken
   (Now that I’m broken),
                F#m      G
   And now that you know it
   (Now that you know it)
             A       Bm
   Caught up in a moment.
           F#m    G
   Can you see inside?

Chorus

 D
   The blood in my veins
                      A/C#
   Is made up of mistakes,
   Let’s forget who we are
   And dive into the dark
 Bm                    G
   As we burst into color
                 D A/C#
   Returning to life.

Chorus

          G   D A
     To start again.
