Intro

Verse 1

On the Chicago

River after dark

We watch the city lights

tear the sky apart

The wind was blowing

her hair around

As the scenery explodes

I'll tell you how

I fell into an old cliche

Always on the road

only halfway sane

No hospital can fix

what I've become

Chorus 1

I've trapped myself

in a ring of fire

If I say I'm okay

I'm also a liar

The only way out is

through the pain

(How am I gonna

get through this?)

Interlude

Bm--

Verse 2

I got so low

that I get high

Just to sit and

watch the miles go by

Now I'm cold and sweaty

with a nauseous heart

I got a million addictions

wearing me down

I fell into an

old cliche

Always on the road

only halfway sane

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

And as I write these words

my hands start to shake

With trouble sneaking

in not a second too late

The only way out is

through the pain

Tomorrow I'll start again

Interlude

D-- x2

Bridge

And now I'm begging for help

I know I can't get up

Gotta face this one all alone

And if I don't make it

Remember that I'll

always be a part of you

(Rpeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
