Verse I-
        E                              A
        streets are filled with broken glass
                              Am
        you get buried by the past
                              E
        give me just a little taste
                         B
        lay this mess to waste
                E
        take me home

Verse II-
        my mind is racing take me home
        my bodys aching so alone
        i'll make you want to stay with me
        befriended by the enemy
        one more time

Chorus-
        E

        G#m
        nothing out there is ever gonna help me
        F#m
        all these words that i hear spoken
        B
        just promises broken now

Verse III-
        G
        looking outside from the window sill
        Csus2
        throw another coin in the wishing well
        G                           Csus2
        youll never find what your looking for
        A       D
        15      miles
             A                        D
        your dim light shines from so far away
        B               E
        your sad        smile
                 B          E
        is all I see when I say

Chorus- (again)

Verse IV-
        from the hotel satellite
        don't look like you're livin right
        here's a deal you cant refuse
        you ain't got as much to lose

        E                          G#m
        can you tell your troubles to
                                   F#m
        someone who won't laugh at you
               B 
        it's alright
        E                       G#m
        and as i watch you walk away
                                F#m
        hope a part of you will stay
               B
        it's alright
