C
I try to know when to leave
     G
She sits in the bedroom and grieves
           Am
There's a sequence that starts all again
              F
She can't get up anymore with the pain
     C
The combination of these drugs
     G
Has left her hopeless and lost
     Am
She wants to count the ways
         F
But she can't count again

Chorus:
C          G
I will be right here
     Am
'Til all the pain
      F
Just disappear
C          G
I will always stay
     Am
'Til all this light
      F
Just kills the day

I strangle my words
Once, I tried a thousand times
Slaughtered like Gods
When the silver shines so hard
I tried to poison my life
Always dreaming of the edge of the knife
She always looked backwards
And I can sit here for even ten minutes or more

Chorus

        C
Oh hold on
        G
Oh hold on
        Am
Oh hold on
        F
Just try again

Chorus:
And I will be right here
'Til all the pain
Just disappears
And I will always stay
'Til all this light
Just kills the day

Oh hold on
Oh hold on
Oh hold on
Just try again
