     C
The leaves fell
off as I did
I guess it held
some kind of
meaning I've been
Dm
lying in this bed
               G
of nails That let
the wind out of my
     C
sails She left me
on the bridge she's
burning Hell maybe
    Dm
I deserve it I'm
just trying to
         G
find my purpose
I hope that
          C
it's all worth
it There will
come a time
When you will
face your life
Don't let it
Dm
twist and tear
    F
you up inside

Chorus:
     C
The world is a fucked
up place but it
  Em
depends on how you
 F      Am
see it Life is full
     G
of change you grow
F
up and then you feel
  C
it But smooth seas
don't make good
         F
sailors Jump ship
and head for failure
 C
Find yourself
           Am
a tragedy Slowly
           Dm  F
lose your sanity

I'll be alright
Your bark was worse than your bite
Left a scar that faded with time
Echoed out to the back of my mind

And there will come a time
When you will face

Chorus

Dm
And I've been walking
           F
around in circles
cursed every
       C
corner of this town
        G
Will I make it out?
Dm
And If I do then
        F
it's a godsend
I caught a bullet
       C
in between my
teeth Could this
G          Dm      F
finally be the end?

There will come a time
When you will face your life
Don't let it twist and tear you up inside

Chorus:
The world's a fucked up place
But it depends on how you see it
Life is full of change
You grow up and then you feel it
Smooth seas don't make good sailors
(I'll be alright)
Jump ship and head for failure
(Your bark was worse than your bite)
Find yourself a tragedy
Slowly lose your sanity
Find yourself a tragedy
Slowly lose your sanity
