Verse 1
I (D major) was taught to love, I was taught to give
(E minor) I was told to shape this life I live (G major)
By the work of an honest (D major) man
Guess I never learned
that it (E minor) could burn down
With everything I earned, somehow
(G major) It slipped right out of my (D major) hands
(A major) Like a (G major) hurricane blowin'
through the sand
Now I'm (E minor) standin' on the corner
watchin' (G major) cars go by
Won (D major) derin' why I'm so (A major) numb inside
Dust (E minor) cloud hangin' up
(G major) over these lights
some (D major) body's running from
the (A major) crumbling life
caught (E minor) by the trouble and the pain
then brought (F sharp minor) down to
rubble by the shade
where the (G major) smoke's rising
up through the rain
and where (A major) all the ashes remain
and
I (B minor) can 't bear the thought it was all my
That (A major) everything fell apart
Cause I (G major) swear I've got a good (D major) heart
I just (G major) don't know where to start
(D major) When the waters are (A major) rising too high
And I feel like (G major) a child
And here amon (A major) g the (D major) wreckage (A major)
Cause (D major) every time I wake
in the mornin' days
(E minor) All the peace of my strength and my (G major) faith
Was so many years
and I've never known (D major) why
And the only things that numb the pain
(E minor) All the same damn things that eat away,
(G major) any chance I'll ever know who (D major) I am inside
(A major) But (G major) even if I lost my mind,
I've for (A major) gotten for a little while
That I'm (E minor) standing on the corner
watching (G major) cars go by,
(D major) wondering why I'm so (A major) numb inside
Dust (E minor) cloud hanging up (G major) over these lights
(D major) Yes, I was running from (A major) a crumbling life
Caught (E minor) by the trouble and the pain
(B minor) Then brought (F sharp minor) down to
rubble by the shade
Where (G major) the smoke's rising
up through the rain
And where (A major) only ashes remain
I (B minor) can 't bear the thought
it was all my fault
That (A major) everything fell apart
I swear to (G major) God I've got a good (D major) heart
I just (G major) don't know where to start
(D major) To build it (A major) up again
I feel like (G major) a kid
Here among (A major) the (D major) wreckage (A major)
When the (G major) darkness settles down
over these (D major) empty city nights
In (A major) the (F sharp minor) bars you've closed,
everyone's gone (G major) home
But no, not me, (D major) I'm walking
between the (A major) shadows and the lights
Trying to (G major) run or trying
to hide from a ghost (A major)
I'm (G major) thinking about the faith that only came
(D major) The hearts of the young
While we (F sharp minor) ran through the wild woods
Under our (G major) summer suns
I'm (D major) thinking about my dad
Carving that (A major) ce dar wood gun
I wonder what he'd (G major) think of me now
I think of (A major) the man I've become
Would he under (E minor) stand these
roads I run?
Something (G major) tells me he fought (A major)
the same thing (D major) s once (A major)
I (B minor) can't bear the thought
it was all my fault
That (A major) everything tore apart
But I was blessed (G major) with my mother's heart (D major)
And I (G major) know it'll help me start
(D major) to find my way (A major) again
Maybe I will (G major) learn to stand
Heal (A major) above the (D major) wreckage (B minor)
Above (A major) (G major) the (D major) wreckage (B minor)
(A major) Above (G major) the wreckage
