CHORUS:

(A) D Em G

Does little relief

A D Em G

Give us reprieve (o-oh)

A G D Em A

For all the things I've left behind

G D A (D) (G) (D)

I'm positive that I'm not blind

verse 3 (played like verse 1)

I'm not afraid things won't get better

But it feels like this is gone forever

You have to cry with your own good tears

You have to laugh with your own good cheers

verse 4 (played like verse 2)

and it's hard to rely on my good intentions

when my head's full of things that I can't mention

Seem's I usually get things right

But I can't understand what I did last night

Chorus 2:

Does little relief

Give us reprieve

Imagining the world outside

I'm positive that I'm not blind

bridge:

G A

I can't be hard on you

(A) G

'Cause you know I've been there too

(G) Em

meant a lot of things with you

A D Em G

Whoa-oh Life gives little relief

A D Em G A

Give us reprieve o-oh

G D Em A

When everyone is cold outside

G D Em A

I clench my fists and close my eyes

G D Em A

Imagining the world outside

G D A D G D D G D D

And I can see that I'm not blind
