[Verse 1]
Bm    G        D
In my arms you lie
        Bm
You're sleeping
G           A
and you're still
    Bm    G
I'm wide awake because
D
I can't take it And
A
this is how I feel


[Verse 2]
Bm     G       D
Set my mind at ease
    Bm      G     A
I'm worried and upset
     Bm       G
When my front door
      D
isn't home anymore
        A
I'll be living with regret


[Refrain 1]
   G  A   Bm
So listen up and just
G       A     G
let the music play
       G      A     Bm
If you listen hard enough
        G
you can hear me say


[Chorus 1]
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
   Bm   D G
of desperation
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
      G
of me wearing thin
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
   Bm   D G
of desperation
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
      G
of me wearing thin


[Verse 3]
                      D
You've heard it all before
           Bm      G    A
Now you'll hear it all again
Bm      G            D
I never said I would rather
                   A
be dead But I have thought
about the end


[Verse 4]
Bm          G       D
So this is starting over
             Bm
and over The nights
     G        A
keep blending in
Bm       G
The only way I can
D
get through the day
      A
Is to try to make amends


[Refrain 2]
   G  A   Bm
So listen up and just
G       A     G
let the music play
       G      A     Bm
If you listen hard enough
        G
you can hear me say


[Chorus 2]
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
   Bm   D G
of desperation
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
      G
of me wearing thin
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
   Bm   D G
of desperation
Bm     G      A
  This is the sound
      G
of me wearing thin
