C                       Ab
House full of roses  a letter on the
 stairs
C                           Ab
A tape full of messages for anyone 
who cares
Bb                           Ab
Collage of broken words  and stories
 full of tears
Bb                               
Remembering your life  'cause we 
Ab
wish that you were here
C                         Ab
Nothing is harder than to wake up 
all alone
C                             Ab
Realize it's not OK  it's the end of
 all you've known
Bb                            Ab
Time keeps passing by  but it seems 
I'm frozen still
Bb                         Ab
Scars are left behind  but some too 
deep to feel

Cm
And some say this can't be real
Ab                           
And I've lost my power to feel 
    Bb
tonight
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When all's gone and can't be 
regained
Ab                                
We can't seem to shelter the pain 
  Bb
inside

We're all just victims of a crime

Some days you'll find me in a place

C                               
Ask questions to myself 'bout the 
   Ab
things I'll never know
Bb                            Ab
What's left to find? 'Cause I need a
 little more
Bb                           Ab
I need a little time  can we even up
 the score?

Some say this can't be real

Nothing lasts forever  for all 
               Eb
good things it's true
                     G        
I'd rather trade it all  while 
                Cm
somehow saving you
                       Ab        
It must have been the season that 
                  Eb
threw us out of line
                G            
Once I stood so tall  now I'm 
                  Eb
searching for a sign

                      Bb         
So don't need your salvation with 
            Cm
promises unkind
                 Ab                
And all the speculation  save it 
           Eb
for another time
                     Bb       
'Cause we all need a reason  a 
                Cm                 
reason just to stay  and some just 
          Ab
can't be bothered
                        Cm
To stick around another day
