G                                    C 
 I was broke 
G                                    C 
I was tired now I'm {bound} 
G                                    C 
My head is off the ground 
G                                    C 
For a long time I was so weary 
G                                    C 
Time will decide, but before 
G                                    Em 
No one loves the nighttime at the door 
                                                       D 
{Hope she} finds things I've {deemed} 
Em                                                                               
    D 
Something between the burning light and the dusty shade 


G                                                           C 
Said I used to think the past was dead and gone 
G 
But I was wrong, so wrong 
C                                                                               G 
Whatever makes a {---} makes you strong, makes you strong 
                                                                 Em 
And by time I'm melting into many forms 
                                             D 
From the day that I was born 
G                         
u can add a C if u think it sound better } 
And I know that there is no place to hide 
G                                                                                
 D 
Something between the burning shade and the faded light 

G 
And I was broken for a long time 
Em         D            G 
But it's over now 
 G                                               Em 
Said I was broken for a long time 
                   D 
But it's over now 
G 
But it's over now 


G                         C 
Yes and  you, 
G                                                                        C

G                         C 
People stare 
G                                          C

Now I'm free from all the things that saved my friends 
                                                D 
And I was {debted} to the end 
                                                        Em

And I was broken for a long time
