Am
it's not so much a storm,
           Em
but just a cloud that lives inside of me
   F                            G
he doesn't stir so easily these days,
            E                 Am
but when he wakes he goes the distance
                 Em
in a marathon of days too long
                F
open containers that sing songs,
                     G
"you'll never dream again,
            E
but you can pray"

           Am          G             F
i guess we only settle in to what we know
           Am            G          F     G
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
             Am           G
but there is comfort in a world
      Am              G             Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
         G                 F       G
and cold is all we have to breathe
           Am              G
where affectations keep us company,
          Am                  G                 Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt 
            C             F       E  Am
are somehow out of our control. 

Am                                     Em
it's not about the scars, but more the crowds that walk all over me
     F                              G
they don't give up too easily these days,
              E                Am
but when they break they go to pieces.
                         Em
fall apart right here in north side bars
                 F
under a sky that knows no stars
                   G
you'll never shine again,
             E
but you will stay.

           Am          G             F
i guess we only settle in to what we know
           Am            G          F     G
i guess we always settle in, and we know.
             Am           G
but there is comfort in a world
      Am              G             Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
         G                 F       G
and cold is all we have to breathe
           Am              G
where affectations keep us company,
          Am                  G                 Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt 
            C             F     E
are somehow out of our control.

Am F Dm E F (4x)

             Am           G
but there is comfort in a world
      Am              G             Am
where darkness is the only thing we see
         G                 F       G
and cold is all we have to breathe
           Am              G
where affectations keep us company,
          Am                  G                 Am
where the lies we tell to the eyes that roll in doubt 
            C             F
are somehow out of our control.
E          Am
we lost control.
