C                       Ab
House full of roses  a letter on the stairs
C                           Ab
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
Bb                           Ab
Collage of broken words  and stories full of tears
Bb                               Ab
Remembering your life  'cause we wish that you were here
C                         Ab
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone
C                             Ab
Realize it's not OK  it's the end of all you've known
Bb                            Ab
Time keeps passing by  but it seems I'm frozen still
Bb                         Ab
Scars are left behind  but some too deep to feel

Cm
And some say this can't be real
Ab                               Bb
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When all's gone and can't be regained
Ab                                  Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
               Eb           G     Cm
We're all just victims of a crime

C                              Ab
Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go
C                                  Ab
Ask questions to myself 'bout the things I'll never know
Bb                            Ab
What's left to find? 'Cause I need a little more
Bb                           Ab
I need a little time  can we even up the score?

Cm
Some say this can't be real
Ab                               Bb
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When all's gone and can't be regained
Ab                                  Bb
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
               Eb            G
We're all just victims of a crime

Nothing lasts forever  for all good things it's true
                     G                        Cm
I'd rather trade it all  while somehow saving you
                       Ab                          Eb
It must have been the season that threw us out of line
                G                              Eb
Once I stood so tall  now I'm searching for a sign

                      Bb                     Cm
So don't need your salvation with promises unkind
                 Ab                           Eb
And all the speculation  save it for another time
                     Bb                       Cm                           Ab
'Cause we all need a reason  a reason just to stay  and some just can't be bothered
                        Cm
To stick around another day
