A Better Way (CHORDS) by Broadside
[Verse]~
C
There is a darkness
D
that sits in the back of your mind!
Em
We spent our youth creating futures
G
where we both would have our time!
C
We were 15,, so naive
D
and blinded by possibilities!
Em
We used to feel so alive,,
G
what dulled your shine..?
[Chorus]~
C D
But there has got to be a better way
Em G
then drowning in this hateful place!
C D
The look inside your mother’s eyes
Em
when she found you blacked out on the couch,,
G
waiting to die!
[Verse]~
C D
And at the bottom of every bottle
Em
there is a silence,,
G
where you question
your existence!
C
Denying the fact that maybe there is
D
more to life than this!
[Chorus]~
C D
But there has got to be a better way
Em G
then drowning in this hateful place!
C D
The look inside your mother’s eyes
Em
when she found you blacked out on the couch,,
G
waiting to die!
[Bridge]~
C D
And now the world
Em
will never know
G
the brother that I’ve
grown to love!
C
And I blame myself
D
cause I didn’t realize,,
Em
The sadness that consumed
G
was always hidden by your smile!
C D Em
February 11th,, the darkest day!
G
I hope your soul will rest easy,,
and you’re no longer in pain!
[Chorus]~
C D
But there has got to be a better way
