          E                                  A
Sometimes you could hear a pin drop, or the ticking of the clock
             E
Between the surface conversation, no matter what they were saying
            A
They never talked, hum
             E                                     A
Sometimes I would hear them screaming, when they though that I was sleeping,
           E                                                     A
They just fight about whatever, I don’t know if they ever had a reason

         C#m            B             A
Am I the product of a problem that I couldn't change?
          C#m          B          A
Got his eyes, got her hair, so do I get their mistakes?

Chorus:
E
I know that you can walk across
                         A
a bridge that’s already burn,
so what am I supposed to do?
                   C#m            B
I can’t help that they chose to breathe it in,
                   A
but I don’t wanna choke
                     E
On that Secondhand Smoke

Sometimes I hear myself saying hand-me-down words
It's so easy to forget that he ain't him and I ain't her

And when I think the fighting has to end in a goodbye
I wanna prove me wrong, but I'm scared I'll prove me right, cause

Chorus

   A
Oh no
           C#m            B            A
Will I be better? Find forever? Be the one to shake the habit?
    C#m                 B         A
Breakaway from broken things and rise above the ashes?

Chorus
