Biography:
The Amity Affliction is a alternative metal/melodic metalcore band originally from Gympie, Queensland. They have become one of the most well known hardcore bands in Australia through a strong touring ethic, a stunningly original sound and a commitment to creating a fun and exciting atmosphere within the scene.
It seemingly took The Amity Affliction years to get their music together, releasing a demo in 2003 and a self-titled EP in 2004, but from the moment they released their High Hopes EP in 2007, the touring rampage began.

Capo 1
Verse 1:
Em
I know that you've been searching
For me elsewhere
G
In the cracks beneath your feet
C D
In the spaces between walls
Em
In the dark wells of the mirror
In the place I used to stand
G
I know that you've been searching
C D
For me elsewhere
Em
In the black pits of my mind
G D
Where the tar of my emotions
Em
Swirls black and ever thicker
C A
Where I retreat
Em
To hide from life
G D
I have the reaper in my heart
Em C A
And black tar pits for eyes
Pre-Chorus:
Em G D
I have the cold heart of the lost ones
Em C A
And no love to tear us apart
Em
I know that you've been searching
G D
In the spaces between words
Em
But let me tell you
G
There's nothing there to read
D
There to read
Chorus:
C
Well I know that you've been searching
Em G D
And you've looked inside your heart
C
But under oceans and in coffins
Em G D
Is a better place to start
C G
Place to start
D A D G
Verse 2:
Em
You can't begin to know
The depths of the abyss
G
Until you've lost it all
D C
Until you've seen yourself
Em
Cause that reflection just
Ain't what it used to be
G C D
It sure as hell ain't what I want to see
Chorus:
C
Well I know that you've been searching
Em G D
And you've looked inside your heart
C
But under oceans and in coffins
Em G D
Is a better place to start
Bridge:
Em
Heartbreak is the burden I bear
Em C
And the bottle's, is the blood I smear
Breakdown:
Em D
Just burdens
C
Just guilt
Em D
Just loss
C
And Just fear
Chorus: Play Twice
C
Well I know that you've been searching
Em G D
And you've looked inside your heart
C
But under oceans and in coffins
Em G D
Is a better place to start
End on C
