Intro

Verse 1

 On the Chicago

River after dark

 We watch the city lights

tear the sky apart

 The wind was blowing

her hair around

 As the scenery explodes

I'll tell you how

 I fell into an old cliche

 Always on the road

only halfway sane

 No hospital can fix

 what I've become

Chorus 1

 I've trapped myself

 in a ring of fire

 If I say I'm okay

I'm also a liar

 The only way out is

 through the pain

 (How am I gonna

get through this?)

Interlude

Bm--

Verse 2

 I got so low

that I get high

 Just to sit and

watch the miles go by

 Now I'm cold and sweaty

with a nauseous heart

 I got a million addictions

wearing me down

 I fell into an

old cliche

 Always on the road

only halfway sane

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

 And as I write these words

 my hands start to shake

 With trouble sneaking

in not a second too late

 The only way out is

 through the pain

 Tomorrow I'll start again

Interlude

D-- x2

Bridge

And now I'm begging for help

 I know I can't get up

Gotta face this one all alone

And if I don't make it

 Remember that I'll

always be a part of you

(Rpeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
