INTRO: D A D A E E (x3) A E D A Well it cuts just like as knife Takes away your love of life A E D D Puts out your fire and leaves you in the ashes A E D A And you lay there in the hole What you loved now leaves you cold A E D D It's hard to get the strength to face the morning F# D A E Some days you really feel like hiding F# D A E Some days you swear you'll never go out anymore CHORUS: D A And I'm not going back D A E E I'm not going back to my dark places D A I'm not going back D A E E I'm not going back to my dark places VERSE 2: (same chords as first) Well the days drag slowly by All you want to do is cry Nothing makes sense nothing has a reason And the world is not the same And you're the one to blame Before too long you feel just like a prisoner Some days you really feel like screaming Some days you swear you'll never smile anymore REPEAT CHORUS: BREAK: G D G D It's something they can't see yet it seems so real to me G D A A Can't explain just how I feel when what I feel is no emotion G D G D It's not a tragedy, yet that's how it seems to me G D A A I wish that you could see or even for one minute be me REPEAT INTRO x2 VERSE 3 (same chords as first) Well, I got there in the end With the help of many friends Some who helped by simply just believing And the days look brighter now Yet I know someday, somehow I could end up back there in an instant Some days I really feel like laughing Some days I realize I must stay on my guard REPEAT CHORUS:
