Am           G            C
Left all my bags at the gates
             G                       F
I held your hand as you tried to escape
          Am            G               C
You were weak from the nights that you spent
               G                    F
Fighting your way out of hospital beds
        Am                     F                      C
I tried so hard to carry you, fighting through every part of it
            F              Am              G             C
All of the pain, but I was weak from the nights that I spent
         G                     F
Laying awake in those hospital beds

[Chorus]
C G                 F                     G
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
               C
While they took down your name
       G                         F
I was pleading with them to go slow

[Verse 2]
     Am           G            C
I played you that song that you love
           G                       F
I let you down, I'd forgotten the words
   Am             G              C
I watched as you still tried to dance
                          G                     F
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest
          Am                     G
Made cathedrals with old cotton sheets
                   C                       F
We held on to belief like its all we had left
           Am                           F
Saw you smiled as you still tried to laugh
                          C                      F
But it's hard when the wires pour out of your chest

[Chorus]
C G               Am                      F
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
C G                Am                     F
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
            C
While they took down your name
        G                        F
I was pleading with them to go slow
        Am                     F
Oh, and I still remember the sky falling down
     C                                        F
The way that the world seemed to not make a sound
C G              Am                      F
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control

[Bridge]
Am                 F
I convinced myself that you were going home
C                            G
That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know
Am                 F
I convinced myself that you were going home
C                            G
That there's a reason behind everything that we don't know

[Chorus]
C G                Am                     F
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
            C
While they took down your name
        G                        F
I was pleading with them to go slow
        Am                     F
Oh, and I still remember the sky falling down
     C                                        F
The way that the world seemed to not make a sound
C G              Am                      F
Oh, you were the chaos they couldn't control
            C
Couldn't control
