C#
We all come in from the cold
    B
We come down from the wire
    F#                                         C#
An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire
    C#
'N sometimes we get burned
        B
You'd think sometime we'd learn
    F#                                            G#
The one you love is the one that should take you higher
          F#                      C#     G#       C#
You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find her

           C#
Just like children hiding in a closet
                  G#
Can't tell what's going on outside
                 F#
Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track
       C#
We get taken for a ride
      F#                    G#
By a parlor trick, or some words of wit
  C#                 F#
A hidden hand up a sleeve
To think the one you love could hurt you, now
                      G#
Is a little hard to believe
But everybody, darlin',
                               C#
sometimes bites the hand that feeds

When I look around
An' everybody always brings me down
Well, is it them or me?
Well, I just can't see
But there ain't no peace to found
But if someone really cared
Well, they'd take the time to spare
A moment to try and understand another one's despair
that no one said it's fair

Chorus:
F#    C#                   F#
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
                           C#
Breakdown Let me hear it, now
              F#                  G#
Yeah Breakdown Let me hear it, now

I've come to know the cold
I think of it as home
When there ain't enough of me to go around
I'd rather be left alone
But if I call you out of habit
I'm out of love and I gotta have it
Would you give it to me if I fit your needs?
Like when we both knew we had it
Now, the damage's done
And we're back out on the run
Funny how everything was roses
when we held on to the guns
Just because you're winnin'
don't mean you're the lucky one

Chorus
