[verse]

C

   I used to hear the silence, I used to hear the chime
Dm                                             Am

   Way down in the goldmine,    I could see a light shine
C

    And I don't even notice a water from the one 
Dm                                          Am

    With a frozen contence,      in a fellow mine

    Oh, i'll never understand,   but i didn't wanna hold your hand

Am                                           F

    We rode the road to ruin, oh may we never get home again

[verse]

C

   Complicated wildness, way stip in the soul
Dm                                                          Am

C

   - bed bar & ?  headlights in your eyes, oh

     Yeah, I'm going away,    feels like a little more every day
                  F                                       C  
     And I, boy, and I don't wanna let go,
              Dm                                     G

    So I'll hold on the wall... and let blood on the floor, yeah
