Splintered

Am 2x

[Verse 1]
Am                            C
They never taught us how to love
                G                F  G
So we use our pain to comfort us
Am                            C
And we never practice what we preach
           G                    F  G
Instead we find someone else to teach

Am                            C
We try not to see with our eyes
              G                    F  G
And fill our plates with dozens of lies
Am                           C
We try so hard to keep it in
          G                     F  G
We turn away from what lies within

[Chorus]
        Am                   C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G                                   F     G
Deep within the walls that we've forgotten
        Am                   C
All the answers to all our problems
G                                 F        G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them


[Verse 2]
Am                         C
We're so afraid to be alone
                 G                    F  G
So we hoard our pain and call it home
Am                             C
They never taught us how to look inside
G                               F      G
Only how to run and how to dry our eyes

Am                         C
We dig ourselves in too deep
                 G                    F  G
How many of us die and pretend to live
Am                              C
We stop the life from leaking in
               G                       F  G
When we turn away from what lies within

[Chorus]
        Am                   C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G                                   F     G
Deep within the walls that we've forgotten
        Am                   C
All the answers to all our problems
G                                 F        G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them

[Chorus variation Outro]
        Am                   C
We are splintered and we are rotten
G                                   F     G
Deep under the floorboards we've forgotten
        Am                   C
But all the answers to all our problems
G                                 F        G
Lie within the one who tries to dodge them
