	        Intro: G#m F#  (x2) 


Verse 1:
    G#m 
His mother said stay away 
Away from all the darkness 
        F#            G#m 
it will haunt you And everything 
we've ever prayed Is the only 
                     F# 
thing that will ever save you 


 
            E                       B 
But it all started with that little taste 
                   E    B      F# 
It helped keep him up later at night 
           E          B         F# 
helped the truth come back into sight 
             E 
And when she left him it dulled the 
B                  E       B 
pain He'd hide the marks under his 
F#               E       B 
socks the doctor said he was in 
F#                   G#m G#m 
shock from what he'd seen 



Verse 2:
 
    G#m 
His mama said it's the last time 
It's the last time we'll be here 
   F#                      G#m 
to save you Because you've fucked 

this up again And those kids aren't 
                          F# 
your friends they use you up 


Verse 3:
              G#m 
And now he's standing in the rain 
                        F# 
He should have probably hopped 
             G#m 
the train instead of drove 
The sergeant has seen this thing 
before Maybe some time behind 
                            F# 
locked doors will save this kid 



                E 
No but it don't save him 
             B 
and who's to blame? 
               E 
The truth just keeps him 
B     F# 
up at night there was 
      E      B       F# 
never much inside he liked 
           E 
The guilty phantoms make him 
  B                   E 
insane He could clean up but 
B         F#        E 
why start now after all 
B         F#            G#m  F# 
who knows how to start again? 



Bridge:
              G#m 
If they don't save him 
         F# 
who's to blame? 
            G#m 
If he don't save him 
         F# 
who's to blame? 
            G#m 
If we don't save him 
         F# 
who's to blame? 


Verse 4:
 
    G#m 
His mother said stay away 
Away from all the darkness 
        F#            G#m 
it will haunt you And everything 
we've ever prayed Is the only 
                     F# 
thing that will ever save you 


 
            E                       B 
But it all started with that little taste 
                   E    B      F# 
It helped keep him up later at night 
           E          B         F# 
helped the truth come back into sight 
             E 
And when she left him it dulled the 
B                  E       B 
pain He'd hide the marks under his 
F#               E       B      F# 
socks the doctor said he was in shock 


            E               B 
If we don't save him who is to blame? 
               E        B     F# 
The truth just keeps us up at night 
             E          B        F# 
why can't he see what's there to like? 
   E                         B 
Do guilty phantoms make us insane? 
               E          B      F# 
If we clean it up there's no way out 
          E          B 
time will tell if he makes 
   F#           G#m 
it out of this alive
