[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Come on, my
little [C]ru in
Won't you [Am]open up and let us in
Time has not been kind
But you're still standing [C]here[Am]
[F]Leave a light on in your window
Won't you [Am]let me see a sign
It's [F]gonna take more
than smoke
And mirror[Am]s now for me

[Verse 2]
this time
[Am]Come on, my little [C]sorrow
Won't you [Am]sing yourself a
[C]different [Am]song
The melody that made you
Is now a worn out sing along
[F]Every body's looking at you
But [Am]I can't stand to watch
[F]I've seen this scene come
and go [Am]too much

[Verse 3]
And [G]oh, how you struggle
through [Dm]the hours
[G]With your sorrow leading [Dm]the way
And [G]as you stood there
among the cow[Dm]ards
You were letting [F]them win

[Verse 4]
But I'm [F]not [Am]gonna stand aside
And [G]watch them tear you [F]up

[Verse 5]
No, I'm [F]not
'Cause you're [Am]bet ter than they are
And [G]I can't say i[F]t enough

[Verse 6]
That's [F]enough
What are you [Am]do in[C]g[Am][C]
[Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Come[C] on, my[Am]
little [C]ru in
Won't you [Am]build yourself
[C]back up [Am]again[C][Am]
[C]Won't you tak[Am]e the time you were given
You promised it to [C]yourself[Am]
[C]You could sta[F]nd among the best of them
If [Am]you could hold your own
But [F]no one's gonna do it for you now
[Am]But you and you alone

[Verse 8]
And [G]oh, how you struggle with [Dm]your power
[G]An d keep your back tight to the wall
An[Dm]d as[G] you were counted
among the [Dm]cowards
They didn't see you [F]at all

[Verse 9]
Now you're [F]caught on a [Am]rising wave
And [G]I can't get you o[F]ff
But I'm not [Am]gonna stand aside
And [G]watch them tear you [F]up

[Verse 10]
No, I'm [F]not
'Cause you're [Am]better than they are
You're [G]better than they are
[F]You're better than they are
You're [Am]better than they are
And [G]I can't say i[F]t enough

[Verse 11]
That's [F]enough
What are you [Am]doing

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 12]
[Am]Come on, my little ruin
Won't you tell me where the feeling's
[C]gone[Am]
There's nothing lost between us
You can come back anytime you want
[C][Am]
