Victim (Lyric n Chord)

Intro:
Dm
F, Dm X2
Dm

Dm Bb
House full of roses, a letter on the stairs
Dm Bb
A tape full of messages for anyone who cares
C Bb
Collage of broken words, and stories full of tears,
Bb Bb
Remembering your life, 'cause we wish that you were here
Dm Bb
Nothing is harder than to wake up all alone,
Dm Bb
Realize it's not OK, it's the end of all you've known
C Bb
Time keeps passing by, but it seems I'm frozen still,
C Bb
Scars are left behind, but some too deep to feel

Dm
And some say this can't be real,
Bb C
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
F A
We're all just victims of a crime
Dm
When all's gone and can't be regained,
Bb C
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
F A Dm
We're all just victims of a crime

Dm Bb
Some days you'll find me in a place I like to go,
Dm Bb
Ask questions to myself 'bout the things I'll never know
C Bb
What's left to find? 'Cause I need a little more
C Bb
I need a little time, can we even up the score?

Dm
Some say this can't be real,
Bb C
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
F A
We're all just victims of a crime
Dm
When all's gone and can't be regained,
Bb C
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
F A
We're all just victims of a crime

(1st solo)

Dm G F
Nothing lasts forever, for all good things it's true
A Dm
I'd rather trade it all, while somehow saving you
G F
It must have been the season that threw us out of line
A F
Once I stood so tall, now I'm searching for a sign

C Dm
So don't need your salvation with promises unkind
G F
And all the speculation, save it for another time
C Dm G
'Cause we all need a reason, a reason just to stay, and some just can't be bothered
Dm
To stick around another day

(2nd solo)

Dm
Some say this can't be real,
Bb C
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
F A
We've all been victims of a crime
Dm
When all is gone and can't be regained,
Bb C
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
F A
We've all been victims of a crime

F A
Victims of a crime
F A
Living with this crime

Dm
I'm missing you X4

F, Dm, F, Dm, F, Dm, C, Dm
