[INTRO]
Dm C A# A
[VERSE ONE]
Dm I'm stuck in all that I'm used to
C And I shouldn't stay but I choose to
A# A I fail my heart every time I give in
[VERSE TWO]
Dm I, I'm a slave to the memories
C A# And I play it safe so I never leave, oh oh
A# A Oh, it's day after day, I just dance with the pain
[PRE CHORUS]
Dm They say I'm more than the scars on my back
C But all of my demons keep holding me back
A# Right into that open door
A Somewhere that I've been before
[CHORUS]
Dm Can't seem to get no rest
C Trying to escape myself
A# I guess I must confess
A I'm comfortable in this mess
Dm Better the ache I know
C I'm scared of the fate, I don't (Oh)
A# Just like a hand to hold (Like a hand)
A At least I'm not alone
[VERSE THREE]
Dm C Pride lays the rules that I choose to abide
A# Latching on, tempting me to the high
A# A Though it's flawed by design, I give in
[PRE CHORUS]
Dm War in my veins, can't get away, self medicate, oh, Lord
C Thoughts in my brain are never sane, I'm never in control
A# Running to that open door (Open door)
A Somewhere that I've been before
[BRIDGE]
A# Can't seem to get no peace of mind
C All these feelings never fade
And the pain won't Go away
A# And it haunts me
A# That nobody's
A Gonna save me, yeah
[PRE CHORUS]
Dm They say I'm more than the scars on my back
C But all of my demons keep holding me back
A# Right into that open door
A Somewhere that I've been before
[CHORUS]
Dm Can't seem to get no rest
C Trying to escape myself
A# I guess I must confess
A I'm comfortable in this mess
Dm Better the ache I know
C I'm scared of the fate, I don't (Oh)
A# Just like a hand to hold (Like a hand)
A At least I'm not alone
