C                       Ab
House full of roses, a letter on the stairs
C                           Ab
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
Bb                           Ab
Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears,
Bb                               Ab
Remembering your life, 'cause we wish that you were here
C                         Ab
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone,
C                             Ab
Realize it's not OK, it's the end of all you've known
Bb                            Ab
Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still,
Bb                         Ab
Scars are left behind, but some too deep to feel

Cm
And some say this can't be real,
Ab                               Bb
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When all's gone and can't be regained,
Ab                                  Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
               Eb           G     Cm
We're all just victims of a crime

C                              Ab
Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go,
C                                  Ab
Ask questions to myself 'bout the things I'll never know
Bb                            Ab
What's left to find? 'Cause I need a little more
Bb                           Ab
I need a little time, can we even up the score?

Cm
Some say this can't be real,
Ab                               Bb
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When all's gone and can't be regained,
Ab                                  Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime

Cm               Ab                             Eb
Nothing lasts forever, for all good things it's true
                     G                        Cm
I'd rather trade it all, while somehow saving you
                       Ab                          Eb
It must have been the season that threw us out of line
                G                              Eb
Once I stood so tall, now I'm searching for a sign

                      Bb                     Cm
So don't need your salvation with promises unkind
                 Ab                           Eb
And all the speculation, save it for another time
                     Bb                       Cm                           Ab
'Cause we all need a reason, a reason just to stay, and some just can't be bothered
                        Cm
To stick around another day
