G             Bm                 Em
How I wish I could surrender my soul
C
Shed the clothes that become my skin
G                                  D
See the liar that burns within my needing

How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold
How I wish I had screamed out loud
Instead I've found no meaning

Chorus:
                     G             D
I guess it's time I run far, far away,
                 Em
find comfort in pain
                    C
All pleasure's the same,
it just keeps me from trouble
G              Bm                 Em
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
                      C
I've heard what they say, but
I'm not here for trouble
      G              D
It's more than just words,
                     G  D
it's just tears and rain

How I wish I could walk
through the doors of my mind
(Hold memory close at hand)
Hold memory close at hand
Help me understand the years

How I wish I could choose
between Heaven and Hell
How I wish I would save my soul
I'm so cold from fear

Chorus:
I guess it's time I run far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
I've heard what they say,
but I'm not here for trouble
Far, far away
Find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words:
it's just tears and rain

 G       D        Em             C
(Ah-ah-ahhh ah-ah-ah) Tears and rain
        G       Bm            Em  C
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ahhh) Tears and rain

Far, far away; find comfort in pain
All pleasure's the same:
it just keeps me from trouble
It's more than just words:
it's just tears and rain
