[Intro 1]
[Am][F][E][F][Am][F][E][F][E][F][Am][C][F][E][F][Am][F]
[E][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
It all hangs [Am]in the balance, it's all a blur
This broken neck holds
the weight of the world
[F]The devil's final[Em]ly
[Dm]admitted every deed
[Am]Scarecrows and hotels, a savage thrill
They come to life as your guts start to spill
[F]And as it cuts and b[Em]leeds,[Dm]
a statue forms in me
[Am]I stand here frozen. I stand here [F]frozen

[Verse 2]
I wish I could for[G]get it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never get [G]it right[C]
Cold hearts on a [Dm]colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[F]I wish I could forget[G] it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never [G]get it [C]right
Cold hearts on a [Dm]colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties,
the sharper the knife

[Verse 3]
They said this place [Am]would be different,
it's still the same
I'm sanded faceless
you've taken my name
[F]A beaten mind won[Em]'t hea[Dm]l,
it takes you where you've been
[Am]Thorn in my stomach, pain in my side
You're smashing protons
as two worlds collide
[F]With hands as cold as[Em]
[Dm]steel I feel you holding me
[Am]I stand here frozen. I stand here froz[Dm]en[F]

[Verse 4]
I wish I could for[G]get it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never get [G]it right[C]
Cold hearts on a [Dm]colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[F]I wish I could forget[G] it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never get [G]it right[C]
Cold hearts on [Dm]a colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[F]So I

[Verse 5]
walked out of the valley
[Am]I let myself feel [F]the sun
on my bare back
And melt the dirt off my [Dm]skin[C]
[F]I let the[C] bre[F]eze of the win[Dm]d cle[Am]anse me
[Dm]I let the elements in

[Verse 6]
[F]It was my onl[Am]y fuc[F]king opt[C]ion
[F]And[Am] again I [F]was whol[E]e[F][Am]
[C]And [F]again [Am]I th[F]ought I could
feel something [E]one [Am]day
[F]But [Am]this planet doesn't have a sun
It only [F]has a moon that's [Am]lifeless
And every light that shines
is a dead reflection
[F]

[Verse 7]
I wish I could for[G]get it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never get [G]it right[C]
Cold hearts on [Dm]a colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
[F]I wish I could forget[G] it
[Am]It's so hard I'll never get [G]it right[C]
Cold hearts on [Dm]a colder night
[Am]The stronger the ties,
the sharper the knife
The stronger the ties, the sharper the knife
