[Verse]

E                              A
Streets are filled with broken glass
                      Am
You get buried by the past
                      E
Give me just a little taste
                 B
Lay this mask to waste
        E
Take me home

E                         A
My mind is racing take me home
                    Am
My body's aching so alone
                                E
I'll make you want to stay with me
                  B
Befriended by the enemy
         E
One more time

[Chorus]

E
Every little thing about this tells me
G#m
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
F#m                                 B
All these words that I hear spoken
                     E
Just promises broken now

{Bridge]

G
Looking outside from my window sill
C
Throw another coin in the wishing well
       G                      C
You'll never find what you're looking for
A  D
15 miles
     A
Your dim light shines
        D
From so far away
B        E         B
Your sad smile, is all I see
E
When I say...

[Chorus]

E
Every little thing about this tells me
G#m
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
F#m                                 B
All these words that I hear spoken
                      E
Just promises broken now

[Verse]

E              A
From the hotel satellite
                              Am
Don't look like you're livin' right

You ain't got as much to lose

Can you tell your troubles to

Someone who won't laugh at you

It's alright
