Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Vs.
Oh it sounds like a violent storm
Holding down while the tides are strong
I survive a wave but now I'm gone
How am I to change the damage done?
Maybe today, today we die
Maybe today, today we die
Give us and take away the cries
Baby today we die
Vs.
There's a fire in the wind and the oxygen
Blaze around of a friend who made me stoic (??)
& I gave you the rain, you claimed the sun
When I took it away you came undone
Even the rain can take the sun
Take it away &
Br.
File into the light
Where everyone just waits to find
Another thing to steal that's mine
It's unbelievable human kind
It's unbelievable
It's like a pain
Pain OH
Br2.
How come everybody's doing
Different than they said
Complaining that they're living
And they'd rather be dead
Always part of the new school that shows
So many things that he don't know
1st CHORUS
("forgive us and take away the cries" instead of "give us and take away these cries")
Repeat intro
REPRISE
strum the G chord for a while
I've had a hard time thinking
I've had the hardest fall
I'm drowning and now I'm sinking
into it all
Remember the words of someone
Someone I used to know
Love everyone but keep them
Far from your soul
