Standard (EADGBE)

Can hold my breath only for a little while

'til reality starts sinking in

once again i'm settling for second best

turn the pages skip to the end

to where i swore that i would try since the last time

 i crossed that line in the back of my mind i know

it only hurts when your eyes are open

lies get tossed and truth is spoken

it only hurts when that door gets open

dreams are lost and hearts are broken

miles away promise from a burning bed

two worlds should never collide

one word would end it if you ever heard

tear the page out that reminds me

when i swore that i'd be strong now the next time has

come and gone well maybe i'm wrong i know

it only hurts when your eyes are open

lies get tossed and truth is spoken

it only hurts when that door gets open

dreams are lost and hearts are broken

i know what your feeling it's hard to believe in someone,

 someone who's not there

 i know that your waiting 'cause love is worth saving but only for so

 long, so long, so long

Guitar solo

i swore that i would try since the last time, the last time

it only hurts when your eyes are open

lies get tossed and truth is spoken

it only hurts when that door gets open

dreams are lost and hearts are broken

it only hurts when your eyes are open

lies get tossed and truth is spoken

it only hurts when that door gets open

dreams are lost and hearts are broken
