Introduction: C G Em D
C G
I was young, I'd seen it all
Em D
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall

I went to school, I never learned
Em D
How it feels, how everything you love can burn
C G Em
And it never stops, it's all I got
D C
And I never know when to turn
G Em D
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
C G
And I don't know why I'm here
Em D
I don't know where I'll go
C G Em D
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
C G Bm Em
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
Am
But I'm holdin' on
D
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can

Bridge
Am Bm
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close

My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
Am Bm
