[Verse 1 - 360]
A                        G
You started having these migraines at a ripe age
F                       G
Doctor gave you codeine just to ease a slight pain
A                       G
  Started crippling you by the age of 14
F                  G
  So the doctor decided to give you morphine
A                           G
That was the first time you tasted what the high was like
    F                         G
Your brain was so fragile you weren't in your right mind
A                G
   We never understood that when you used to have it
F                       G
   We were seeing the beginnings of a future addict
A                       G
 And that's a honest mistake the doctor had made
  F                            G
He only meant to help you in a positive way
             A                             G
And pointing fingers in this whole sh*t is not going change
        F                           G
That we all awoken a demon that was locked in a cage
A                         G
  I know the drug way of life is a lonely one
F                 G
  I hate that it went and attracted both of us
A                G
  And opiates is so hard to overcome
F                               F*
Playing Russian roulette with a needle is a loaded gun


[Hook - Chris Cheney]
A       G              F          G
  Early warnings never come
A          G                 F          G
  Life was good when we were young
A               G               F
  Just like the early morning sun
G
We will rise up
A          G                A*      A*     G
  Life was good when we were young


[Verse 2 - 360]
A                       G
We didn't know you were getting bullied everyday
F                      G
  Tortured, but wasn't strong enough to ever say
A                  G                           F
  School is such a tender age it molds you in every way
             G
Forms and forever shapes your mental state
A                     G
  After copping more abuse from the friends you made
F                       G
  All you wanted was to get some f**king better mates
A                              G
 So when your head would ache,   you just medicate
F                             G
Now you found a better way to get away from any pain
A                        G
 So while you crying and lying in your bed awake
    F                              G
You know when the doc injects your veins it'll set you straight
A                           G
 We didn't know because you didn't have to ever chase
F                               G
Saying you got a migraine would take you to a better place
A           G
   Yo, this sh*t is going overboard
F                   G
  Too deep for me to help you stay afloat at all
A                      G
  All we've got left is hope so we hope for more
F                           F                 F
  'cause having false hope's better than no hope at all


[Hook - Chris Cheney]

  Early warnings never come
A          G                 F          G

A               G               F
  Just like the early morning sun
G

[Verse 3 - 360]
          A                        G
There's a day I can't wipe from my memory though
        F                             G
Like a episode of my life that I'm forgetting to close
A                            G
  He was done from life and ready to go
         F                                 G
Ready to hang his head in shame but at the end of a rope
A                          G
  His addiction has ruined everything though
         F                     G
Pushed away all his family and friends that he knows
            A                                G
We could of helped but he was too ashamed to let us all know
    F                                  G
We thought he found us annoying so we left him alone
    A                           G
For some reason Mum and Dad was sensing it though
         F                       G
Their instinct kicked in so they went to his home
       A                         G
He was trying to get clean so he went it alone
        F                            G
So many downers he would of ended up dead on his own (yeah)
A                           G
  I got a call that made me burst into tears                       }
        F                       G                                  }
I never heard my Dad crying, it hurt me to hear                    } Fingerpick Chords
         A                             G                           } 
Told him it was a blessing it could be worse than it is            }
          F                                   F              F     }
Bring him home to those that love him for the person he is         }

[Outro - Chris Cheney]
        A                    G
Now I'm stoppin' at a red light
F                G
Wake up on the wrong side, now
A                    G
Stoppin at a red light
F                 G
Gettin off this ride, now
A                    G
Stoppin' at a red light
F                G
Wake up on the wrong side, now
A                    G
Stoppin at a red light
F                 G
Gettin off this ride, now
