[Intro]
Am F Dm
[Verse]
Am F
Somebody give me a sign that everything is going as planned,
Dm Am F Dm
And then everything falls away into the darkness of this shallow place.
Am F
The detail is striking, the rooms cold and frightening, you'll kick and you'll scream
Dm Am F Dm
You'll try everything to survive, but you should know your fate by now.
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am C F G
They told me, how I should be, but I broke the mold somehow
[Chorus]
Am F
It's too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
C G Am
But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done to me.
[Verse]
Am F Dm Am
You, you know you gotta search yourself, leave what you need for now
F Dm
It's not the time or place you're searching for
Am F Dm
All I can give them is my worst of intentions, you're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Am F Dm
Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
F G Am C F G G#m
They told me, how I should be, but I broke the mold somehow
[Chorus]
Am F
It's too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
C G
But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done
Am F
It's too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
C G
But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done to me.
[Breakdown]
Am Am
Watch your back, you'll lose yourself. This is a battleground!
Am
When will they know
F G G#m
Your life's a lie
[Chorus]
Am F
It's too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
C G
But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done
Am F
It's too late, too late. You keep trying to resolve the past right now.
C G
But I swear I'll be the one to let the world know what you've done to me.
