B Somewhere in our fears there's a

F# F#m reason I'm colored

C#m blue.

B Somewhere in our tears there's a

F# F#m season. I'm changing,

C#m too.

E The tears that fall is the rain that soaks the

F# A pain within my heart that's hanging

G# G#7 cold. There is a

C#m storm.

Confusion comes on strong, like a

wave crashing over me.

I know it won't be long ‘til I

drown within this misery.

The tears that fall are the wave that drowns the

joy within my life that's hanging down.

Here comes the storm.

AMaj7 There's a boat out on the

E horizon.

AMaj7 Do you want to catch a

E ride?

AMaj7 You've got to let them know you

E need them.

F# A Or do you want the other

G# G#7 side? Why'd you want that

C#m side?

I used to Love my Life and the

art that sparked my mind.

I only want to Love and

let my smile shine.

But the tears that fall are the clouds that

block the light within me now it's hanging

I'm in the storm.

I will not take the pain, I'm

leaving, and won't return.

I cannot keep the flame, my

weeping will not burn.

The tears that fall is the stain that taints the

life within my soul that's hanging low.

I am the storm.

There's a rope hanging from the ceiling.

But there is hope that's hanging from the sky.

A life-line to save you from this feeling.

Won't you even try?

Why'd you want to die?
