Fm                 D#       Cm     A#        G#
You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

Chorus:
     G#         D#
And you held it all
              Fm                  C#
But you were care-less to let it fall
G#          D#
You held it all
           C                     Fm D# Cm A# G#
And I was by your side, powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

Chorus - x2

Powerless, powerless
