[Verse 1, 0:15]

 A
  Helpless child
 Dm/A                                 A      A/G
 They invite your hands to fill their needs.
          Dm/F    Dm/G
 Will you be the same?
 A
  Shameless smile...
    Dm/A                                 A    A/G
 To steal from you the innocence that bleeds.
           Dm/F      Dm/G
 Will they feel your pain?


[Chorus, 0:44]

 C#m   A       G#   F#m
        Trying to believe...
     D    C#m   Bm
 The scars unse-e-en...
     Bm/A       E/G#
 The tears wash clean.

 G                           D
 You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe.
  G                                  D
 You don't know how you'll live a life alone.

           D/F#
 She keeps holding on...
 G       D/F#     Em
 Holding on to   you.
 Em/D                C
 Let her breathe the air.
       Cm        Bm     Eb7            Am7
 Don't wanna be alone... where do you belong?
 D7        G   Cm/G   G   D/F#

[Verse 2, 1:45]

 A
  Behind those eyes
 Dm/A                                A    A/G
 The vivid scene... a lucid dream within.
            Dm/F    Dm/G      A
 Questioned secrets are revealed.
 A
  And everytime...
 Dm/A                                       A    A/G
 You can't deny the lines that trace your skin.
             Dm/F       Dm/G
 Wounds that never heal.


[Chorus, 2:14, Same as above]


[Bridge, 3:08]

               Eb      Bb    F
 And now she's calling out a name
               Eb     Bb      F
 Can't keep on hiding all her pain
              Cm        Bb
 You feel the rain move in
    Eb    F
 As you begin
    C#     D#           F
 To turn and answer the call

 The scars unseen

 The tears wash clean

 Bb                          F
 You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
     Bb                                 F
 You don't know how you'll live a life alone.

           F/A#
 She keeps holding on...
 Bb     F/A#    Gm
 Holding on to you.
 Gm/F                 Eb
 Let her breathe the air.
       Ebm       Dm     G7              Cm7
