C
Dancing on the grave
you made to hide me
            F
Remove the pictures
from the wall cause
                 Am
they're reminding
G      C
You of all the things

you try so hard to
hide and She digs
      F
the graves so she
knows just where
               Am
she can find it
G     C/E
And I don't have
      F       C
much to offer
            C/E
but had you loved
             F
me I'd have loved
     C
you back forever

Chorus:
Am
Here I am again
             C
rock bottom Dug
this hole to hell
            G
to rot in Shouldn't
have ignored my
           F
friends Afraid the
rope that they had
            Am
dropped in Here I
lay again rock
         C
bottom What was
life? I had forgotten
G
How the sun felt on
         F
my skin Resurrect
again and start again

She said, "You're distant from the world
and self-destructive"
But she still smiles and laughs along
for self-indulgence
She's got her finger on the pulse and
she feels nothing
She digs the grave so she can dance
like no one's watching

And I know you're chasing something
(I know you're chasing something)
Or has what you wanted got
you scared and running?
And I know you're missing something
(I know you're missing something)
Because I felt it there that night
and caught you blushing

Chorus

Am           C
The advent flow of
           F
life is a mystery
      G
So I guess I'll
       Am
never know Yeah
       C
I got caught up
    F
in history So
I think it's
time for me to
G        Am
let this go
Am           C
The advent flow of
           F
life is a mystery
      G
So I guess I'll
       Am
never know Yeah
       C
I got caught up
    F
in history So
I think it's
time for me to
G        Am
let this go

Chorus

(Break out, I need to break out,
I need to break out)
(Gotta get me out or
I'm gonna break down)
(I'm gonna break down)
(I've hit rock bottom)
Resurrect and start again
(Break out, I need to break out,
I need to break out)
(Gotta get me out or
I'm gonna break down)
(I'm gonna break down)
(I've hit rock bottom)
Resurrect and start again
