Intro 
F#m    C#m   E    F#m 

verse 1 
F#m      C#m            E                      F#m 
I try to keep my dreams real, looking straight ahead 
F#m        C#m             E               F#m 
I’m losing sleep, fighting hard, holding my breath 
F#m        C#m             E          F#m 
There is a weight pressing down on my chest 
F#m            C#m           E                 F#m 
Try to lift it up, to get it out, but there it rests 

Bridge 
        F#m                    D 
It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid 
  A                                      E 
Cause when you deal with the devil, he’s gotta get paid 
F#m                             D 
And when your heart runs out of happiness 
A                             E 
You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss 

F#m               A                        D 
Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone 
       A 
To the things I’ve let go 
F#m                  A                       D 
Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up to fast 
A 
While it feels to slow 
F#m            C#m       E             F#m 
When all you’re doing, is trying to get by 
F#m             C#m      E          F#m 
When all you’re doing is waiting to die
 

F#m  C#m  E  F#m 

verse 2 
F#m          C#m           E                     F#m 
Keep my feet still, on the ground  one step at a time 
F#m           C#             E              F#m 
Take a single breath, in and out, you’ll be alright 
F#m      C#m          E                 F#m 
Put on a face, fake a smile, don’t look down 
F#m        C#m             E                F#m 
Steady yourself, open your eyes, try not to drown 

Bridge 2 
       F#m             D 
It’s a constant day of stormy clouds 
    A                E 
And empty heats, and broken vows 
     F#m         D 
When everyone is on cloud nine 
     A                      E 
Just cling to the hope that you’ll be fine 

F#m               A                        D 
Holding on to the dreams I’ve lost, to the people gone 
       A 
To the things I’ve let go 
F#m                  A                       D 
Raise a glass to the moments passed, growing up too fast 
        A 
While it all feels too slow 
F#m             C#m          E            F#m 
When all you’re doin is just trying to get by 
F#m             C#m           E          F#m 
When all you’re doing is just waiting to die 
    F#m           A          D             A 
And everything is broken and everything is wrong 
    F#m              A            D                 A 
And everything would be okay, you just need to move on 


Bridge 
F#m                            D 
It’s a straight down spiral to hell I’m afraid 
               A                        E 
Cause when you deal with the devil he’s gotta get paid 
             F#m                D 
And when your heart runs out of happiness 
         A                    E 
You will pray for the days of ignorant bliss
