[Verse 1]
Fm9                   Cm11/Eb
  I am back here once again
       Cm11
In the mist
       Db
In the mist without sight
Fm9                         Cm11/Eb
  I thought I fought my way back
        Cm11
Now I'm afraid
      Db
I'm afraid to lose hope
Fm9                  Cm11/Eb
  Will I ever be the man
      Cm11
In control
      Db
In control of his world?
Fm9                         Cm11/Eb
  Open wounds that will not heal
        Cm11
Pull me back
        Db
Pull me back inside

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bbm
And I
                    Ab/C
I was always on the side
                    Bbm/Db
Of conformities and pride
                        C/E
Had no shelter from the rain
    Bbm
And I
                    Ab/C
I was always on the side
                    Bbm/Db
So I kept my little lie
                         C
To be safe from what may come

[Verse 2]
Fm9
To be alone inside of my thoughts
  Cm11/Eb
A state that I tend to avoid
       Cm11
But if I can't get to them
        Db
I think no one can
Fm9                     Cm11/Eb
  Moving forward nonetheless
     Cm11          Db
I'm afraid this is how I've become
Fm9
How can I sort it out
       Cm11/Eb
When I don't even know what I'm looking for?
     Cm11
If I only knew that, at least
        Db
I could deal with it
Fm9                     Cm11/Eb
  I don't even have a plan
   Cm11        Db
On how to move forward from here

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bbm
And I
                    Ab/C
I was always on the side
                    Bbm/Db
Of conformities and pride
                        C/E
Had no shelter from the rain
    Bbm
And I
                    Ab/C
I was always on the side
                    Bbm/Db
So I kept my little lie
                         C/E
To be safe from what may come

[Chorus]
F5/C C5 Fm   Db
O_______h, my life
      Bbm
Is on hold
        C    C/Ab
In this moment
         C/G     C         Fm
There is nothing here but darkness
 Db
My life
      Bbm
Is on hold
        C   C/Ab
It's on hold
           C/G     C        Fm
Until I've figured out this maze

[Verse 3]
Fm9                             Cm11/Eb
  I hold my breath and count to ten
      Cm11
Maybe then
        Db11
It will all go away
Fm9                           Cm11/Eb
  Distraction strategies may work
    Cm11
But only
     Db11
Only for so long
