[Intro]
G#m F# x2
[Verse 1]
G#m
His mother said stay away
Away from all the darkness
F# G#m
it will haunt you And everything
we've ever prayed Is the only
F#
thing that will ever save you
[Chorus 1]
E B
But it all started with that little taste
E B F#
It helped keep him up later at night
E B F#
helped the truth come back into sight
E
And when she left him it dulled the
B E B
pain He'd hide the marks under his
F# E B
socks the doctor said he was in
F# G#m G#m
shock from what he'd seen
[Verse 2]
G#m
His mama said it's the last time
It's the last time we'll be here
F# G#m
to save you Because you've fucked
this up again And those kids aren't
F#
your friends they use you up
[Verse 3]
G#m
And now he's standing in the rain
F#
He should have probably hopped
G#m
the train instead of drove
The sergeant has seen this thing
before Maybe some time behind
F#
locked doors will save this kid
[Chorus 2]
E
No but it don't save him
B
and who's to blame?
E
The truth just keeps him
B F#
up at night there was
E B F#
never much inside he liked
E
The guilty phantoms make him
B E
insane He could clean up but
B F# E
why start now after all
B F# G#m F#
who knows how to start again?
[Bridge]
G#m
If they don't save him
F#
who's to blame?
G#m
If he don't save him
F#
who's to blame?
G#m
If we don't save him
F#
who's to blame?
[Verse 4]
G#m
His mother said stay away
Away from all the darkness
F# G#m
it will haunt you And everything
we've ever prayed Is the only
F#
thing that will ever save you
[Chorus 3]
E B
But it all started with that little taste
E B F#
It helped keep him up later at night
E B F#
helped the truth come back into sight
E
And when she left him it dulled the
B E B
pain He'd hide the marks under his
F# E B F#
socks the doctor said he was in shock
[Chorus 4/Outro]
E B
If we don't save him who is to blame?
E B F#
The truth just keeps us up at night
E B F#
why can't he see what's there to like?
E B
Do guilty phantoms make us insane?
E B F#
If we clean it up there's no way out
E B
time will tell if he makes
F# G#m
it out of this alive
