C                 D           G       D

Verse 1:

G                          D                        Em 
Ben was young his life was on the way and when that school was finaly done and he would 
D                       C              D             G     D 
easily get the grade so ben was just a boy walking home 
G                          D                   Em                    D 
But then they came running through the night 3 boys in the dark with hoods holding knives and they 
C              D             G      D 
See ben on his own walking home

C                     D              Em         D 
Far to young to fight to run so he stood no chance 
C                D                 G       D  Em     D 
Then to feel the cold of steel inside he's alone and his 
C       D 
Heart 



G                D                       Em                    D 
There i was on a blood stain road in the freezing cold sixteen years old and i saw 
C           D             G       D

G                             D                    Em 
And i was there when you fell to your knee's and i hold you in my arms and 
D 
We collapsed upon the street and i said

G                         D                Em                E5 
And i was there i swear i tried my best to stop the bleeding from the holes 
D 
In your chest and i 
       C                    D                            G     D 
Scream ben please just stay awake i'm gonna get you home 
C                       D            Em                 D 
And so two sixteen year old boys lay down on the road 
C                               D                      Em         D 
And i was scared i screamed ben dont you dare leave me here on my own 
C                     D                   G    D     E      D    C 
A year went by wished i bright shine when your eye's finaly closed
