[Verse 1]
[A5]When[C] the[Am] ski[A5]n breaks[F]
He thought time could [C]heal his
[Bm]growing [C]shame[A5][C][Am]
[A5]These white hot [F]knives will turn
[C]to fire and they'll [Bm]burn
He [C]cannot heal be[Bm]fore [C]he [Am]breaks[A5]
[Bm][A5][Bm][A5][Bm][A5][Bm][A5]

[Verse 2]
[G]
[A5]He stumbled out of t[Am]he bedro[A5]om
[G]Feel the [A5]shock moving up
and down [Bm]your [A5]spine[G]
[A5]He's running out of the building
She's [Am]going crazy, [A5]scream[Am]ing,
[D]asking [A5]?Why??
[Am]If

[Verse 3]
[A5]you look [Am]for a s[C]avior to
[G]finally be [A5]free[Am][G]
[Am]Free from [A5]all his [Am]failu[C]re,[D]
that's all you'll ever [Am]see[A5][G]
[Am]He stumb[A5]led into the b[Am]ath room[A5],
[G]shut the door [A5]and fell right to [Am]his knees
He [A5]tried to look in the the mirror,
[Bm]now his eyes a[A5]re bleeding
He's [C]asking [Am]plea[A5]se

[Verse 4]
[Am]When [F]the skin breaks
He thought time could [C]heal his [Bm]growing
[C]shame[A5][Am][C][Am]
These white [F]hot knives will turn
[C]to fire and [Bm]they'll burn
He [C]cannot heal be[Bm]fore [C]he [Am]breaks

[Verse 5]
Sounds [Am]weake[G]n [Am]ing, d[Bm]eath s[Am]ets in
As his stom[C]ach [Am]quickly hit
[F]s the [Am]floor
The stench of a rotting lie has
found its way [A5]to y[Bm]our brain[Am]
It pulls the trigger [A5]and opens [Am]your eyes
[C]to spot [Am]the reeking [F]stai[Am]n

[Verse 6]
He thought it [Am]would solve all his [F]problems
[Bb]He sees now that the b[F]lood
will nev[E]er wash [Am]away[A5]
Now can't you hear what
[F]he's saying?
While you've been screaming
you've been [Bb]drowning the ladder
[C]So you can flo[Am]at to the top

[Verse 7]
[F]in
[D]stead [Am]of climb[A5][G][Am]
[A5]And I as s[Am]ure y[A5]ou th[G]at I[Am]'m not the one[A5][G][Am][A5]
[Am]for [A5]you[Am][Bm]
[Am][A5][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 8]
[A5]
[Am]When [F]the skin breaks
He thought time could [C]heal his
[Bm]growing [C]shame[Am][C][Am]
These white [F]hot knives will turn
[C]to fire and they'll [Bm]burn
He [C]cannot heal be[Bm]fore he [Am]breaks
