A Better Way

i play capo 2 C There is a darkness D that sits in the back of your mind. Em We spent our youth creating futures G where we both would have our time. C We were 15, so naive D and blinded by possibilities. Em We used to feel so alive, G what dulled your shine? C D But there has got to be a better way Em G then drowning in this hateful place. C D The look inside your mother’s eyes Em when she found you blacked out on the couch, G waiting to die. C D And at the bottom of every bottle Em there is a silence, G where you question your existence. C Denying the fact that maybe there is D more to life than this. C D But there has got to be a better way Em G then drowning in this hateful place. C D The look inside your mother’s eyes Em when she found you blacked out on the couch, G waiting to die. C D And now the world Em will never know G the brother that I’ve grown to love. C And I blame myself D cause I didn’t realize, Em The sadness that consumed G was always hidden by your smile. C D Em February 11th, the darkest day. G I hope your soul will rest easy, and you’re no longer in pain. C D But there has got to be a better way Em G then drowning in this hateful place. C D The look inside your mother’s eyes Em when she found you blacked out on the couch, G waiting to die.
