[Verse 1]
         E                       B                      E
(Breathe)I wish I could cross my arms, and cross your mind
                        B                F#                             E
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart and wear it on your sleeve
                           B                        E
All my life I wish I broke mirrors, instead of promises
                      G#m                  F#
Cause all I see, is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
E                           B                           E
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely cause I'm so afraid
                         B              F#
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?
E                          B
Lift your arms only heaven knows, where the danger grows
 E                             G#m              F#
And it's safe to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way


[Pre-Chorus]
E                   B                  F#
(Help is on the way, Help is on the way, Help is on the way...)

Help is on the way


[Chorus]
E              B                 F#
 I forget the last time I felt brave (I just recall insecurity)
E                   B             F#
 Cause it came down like a tidal wave (And sorrow swept over me)


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
  E                           B                          E
Depression, please cut to the chase and cut a long story short
                            G#m               F#
Oh please be done. How much longer can this drama afford to run?
E                               B                                 E
Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties and breaks whatever doesn't bend
                       G#m              F#
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes just pull me back down again


[Pre-Chorus]
E               B                F#
(Back down again, back down again, back down again, back down again
E                 B              G#m                F#
 (Back down again, back down again, back down again...)


[Chorus 2]
E              B                 F#
 I forget the last time I felt brave (I just recall insecurity)
E                   B             F#
 Cause it came down like a tidal wave (And sorrow swept over me)
E           B               F#
 Then I was given grace and love (I was blind but now I can see)
E                B             G#m        F#
 Cause I found a new hope from above (And courage swept over me)

[Ending]
                 B                        E       F#
It hurts just to wake up, whenever you're wearing thin
             B                    E      G#m F#
Alone on the outside, so tired of look - ing in
             B                            E         F#
The end is uncertain, and I've never been so afraid
                   B
But I don't need a telescope to see that there's hope
         E     G#m F#   B
And that makes me  feel brave
