G                     C
You've been watching dawn from the gutter
G                C
Trading one bad move for another
G                   C
It's been a stormy night
                  Am   C
but it's almost through

Friends you once loved don't know you
Even your own eyes don't know you
You think this whole world's
trying to bury you

    C    G/B  D
But it's not true

Chorus:
D  Em         C
So don't you say
         Am                Em        C
There's something in your core that can't be saved
D     Em         C
Cause it's not true
         Am           Em       C       G C
And every atom of my heart is missing you

Well it's OK to be scared when
You're stuck behind a door that won't open
The shadows in your dreams that are chasing you
They're not true

Chorus

Am        D           G
The good will come through
D/F#             Am
I wish that you could feel it
D                 G
the way you used to
D/F#                Am
I wish you could believe it
D                 G
the way you used to
