INTRO: C Am7 F G7 (2x)
[C]When your blood is boiling and your [Am7]heart is full of fear
A [F]savior doesn't visit, [G7]miracles don't appear
The [C]minute hand ticks slower and the [Am7]hour hand don't move
When [F]you can't dream the future and you [G7]have somethin' to prove
You [C]need an explosion to [Am7]clean out all the pain
[F]Clouds just swell in silence while you're [G7]waiting for the rain
The [C]phone looks like a cobra on the [Am7]table by the bed
[F]Even if your savior called, e[G7]verything's been said
Your nerves grow thru your soul like racing evil vines
You read her goodbye letter and try to see between the lines
Prayin' to be sleepin' when the house burns to the ground
But hopin' on the other hand, somehow you'll be found
People try to be a friend, they come by for a talk
But when they start the speech, the words just break in two like chalk
A-waiting for the sweat that pours out when the fever breaks
Wishin' you could take back every one of your mistakes
BRIDGE:
[F]Do you find a [C]fix
Do you [F]give up on everything and [C]sit and take your [G7]licks
Do the [F]lonely and the broken ones keep [C]waiting for it [Am]all
Or [F]do they just lay down and ac[G]cept the bitter [C]fall
BREAK: C
But then some tiny magic starts to grow and warm your veins
That mystery of life somehow keeps you kinda sane
A daydream starts to grow that hasn't been there in awhile
The kids are in the backyard and it makes you start to smile
The savior rushes in and grabs you hard and holds you strong
And not the one you wait for, one that's been there all along
The daydream doesn't end, instead your smile turns to a laugh
As the young ones teach you once again to be the better half
So you [C]suck the poison from your blood and [Am7]kick the bastard out
And [F]walk out in the sunlight into [G7]what it's all about
BRIDGE:
[F]You can't find a [C]fix
[F]You can't give up on anything, es[C]pecially when you're [G7]sick
If you're a [F]lonely or a broken one, keep [C]givin' it your [Am]all
So [F]when you finally lay down, you'll [G]know you didn't [C]fall
OUTRO: C
