[Intro]
x4
[Verse]
I can understand how when the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don t know how long you re gonna last
[Chorus]
But everyone you know is tryin to smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
But everyone you know is trying to smooth it over
Like you re trying to scream underwater
But I won t let you make the great escape
I m never gonna watch you checkin out of this place
I m not gonna lose you
Cause the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
(fade, soft)
Gonna keep you alive someday
[Verse]
I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
And you wouldn t flinch or even feel a thing
And you ve retreated to your silent corner
Like you decided the fight was over for ya
Everyone you know is trying to smooth it over
Find a way to make the hurt go away
[Chorus]
Everyone you know, is tryin smooth it over
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
I won t let you make the great escape,
I m never gonna watch you checkin out of this place
I m not gonna lose you
Cause the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
C (build up) G Em x 4
They re gonna keep you alive someday..m.m.m.m.mmmm
[Bridge]
Oh, terrified of the dark but not if you go with me
And I don t need a pill to make me numb
And I wrote the book on runnin
But that chapter of my life will soon be done
[Chorus]
I m the king of the great escape
You re not gonna watch me checkin out of this place
You re not gonna lose me
Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep us alive someday
D (fade)
Yeah the passion and the pain
(soft fade)
Are gonna keep us alive someday,
(fade out)
someday
