C – F – Am – Dm
 
C     F
      Come up screaming…
Am     F
        Come up screaming…
Am – Dm
 
C . . .
 
C                               F
  I've never seen you look like this without a reason,
C                        F                Dm    F      G
  Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you.
 
G  –  F   –   Dm
       *shot!*
 
C                        F
  I never took the smile away from anybody's face,
C                               F                Dm     F      G
  And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child.

Am            C            F      G              Am
      And in a big country, dreams stay with you,
        C       Dm             C       G
Like a lover's voice, fires the mountainside
F           Dm
      Stay alive
 
C – Dm
 
C                                     F
   I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
        Am                  Dm                       C
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
 
C . . .
 
C                            F
   I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert,
C                                 F       Dm    F     G
   But I can live and breathe and see the sun in wintertime

C                           F
   So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Am                               Dm
    Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
C                            F
   Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Am                           Dm
   Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
C                                     F
   I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
        Am                  Dm                       C
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered
