C, F, Dm, G

C
There's a boy I know, he has a heart of glass
F
It is gold inside but it has crystallized
Dm
It is beautiful but in its tragedy
G
It is hard to hold without shattering
C
He calls himself at night, in soft over-chords
F
Keeps coming back to it, his voice and echo coarse
Dm
Till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke
G
And the greyest days the predictions told


C
But this boy I know, he is pure of soul
F
Just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals
Dm
Under a coat of night, it's oh-so-comforting
G
And that first breaking light becomes his enemy
C
He calls so late tonight, it is 4 a.m.
F
He is drunk, he can't find his apartment
Dm
I don't like how it feels when I think of him
G
All hooded in black, lost and stumbling



F G Am
The days start to fade out of the frame
F C G
Like they're blurring into someone else's name


C
You try your hardest to rewind the tapes
F
But you're prepared every day to make the same mistakes
Dm
Step out of that life
G
It's nowhere near your time
C
Just remember you called it all bullshit
F
Well, it is and if you stop giving into it
Dm G
You can walk away the freest man


C
This boy I know lives in a bell jar
F
It is balancing upon his pedestal
Dm
He's trying not to upset his conscious
G
Afraid it's so fallen that no one will catch him
C
But I've been there too and I swear to god
F
If I can help you, please, you gotta tell me how
Dm
I know you've been away and it can break you down
G
And I don't want you gone


F G Am
All the cracks you see can be repaired
F C G
And if you start to fall, we will be there


C
Don't drown yourself in all your old regrets
F
'Cause all the heaviness will steal away your breath
Dm
Step out of that life
G
It's nowhere near your time
C
And don't forget you called it all bullshit
F
It still is and if you stop giving into it
Dm G
You will walk away the freest man


C
Shake your head
F
Loosen your grip
Dm
Raise up your fist
G
You are the freest man


C
Open your mouth
F
Scream it out loud
Dm
Forget all your doubt
G
You are the freest man


C, F, Dm, G
