C#
Timber Shakes
                           Fm
These trails they are derailed
                A#m
Phony false and frail
An empty ocean
G#                              C#
Lost our way with no direction home
                                 Fm
Golden needles names we take in vein
                    A#m
Find it harder to remain
Nothing sacred
G#
Waiting on that explanation

Chorus:
C#
Right before my eyes
            G#
I saw the whole world lose control
     A#m
The whole world lost control
           F#
Before my eyes
   G#
Uh huh
C#
I fell through the floor
            G#
I couldn't take it anymore
         A#m
I can't take this anymore
        F#
Fix my mind
    G#
Uh huh

Holding dirty hands over the flames
Getting pleasure from the pain
Softly screaming the pistol
that you raised has spoken
Golden needles names we take in vain
Find it harder to remain
No, nothing's sacred still
waiting on that explanation

Chorus:
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind uh-huh

F#                      A#m
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side
F#
Time went on and on
      A#m
Can't see past my own eyes
         G#
Past my eyes
         A#m
Past my eyes
         G#
Past my eyes

Chorus:
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes uh-huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind uh-huh
