Key: F#m
Tune down 3 half-steps (C#)

Intro:
Am C  G  F

Verse:
Am                        G/B        C
When there’s nothing left for you to count on
    G              F
The skies turn the day seems gray

Am             C
And you aren’t whole anymore
             G                F
Now that the loss has settled in

Am                    C
I can tell we’re gon’ fight about it
G                   F
So sorry that I was wrong

Am                C
I can tell, I can tell you
                 G
Hell, I can tell everybody
                 F
It don’t make me numb

Chorus:
Am                    C
Lost and cold and all alone
                     G
Still afraid in this grave
          F
I call my home

Feels like I’m dying

Am               C                  G
I can see, I can see it all and I’m afraid
                F
I won’t find my way

Well, I ain’t lyin’

I couldn’t see, I couldn’t see your face
Behind your walls
The grand charade

Well, looks whos cryin’

Could it be we were meant to fail
to be so much more
Than this masquerade

Cuz we’re all dyin’

Verse:
Am               C              G
Do you care if I tell you never mind
               F
Watch you walk away

Am                     C
Should I say, should I speak my mind
          G                   F
Or are my breaths just wasted tones
Am                         C
Should’ve just - just left well enough alone
            G                  F
The love we shared, before the hurricane

Chorus:
Am                    C
Lost and cold and all alone
                     G
Still afraid in this grave
          F
I call my home

Feels like I’m dying

Am               C                  G
I can see, I can see it all and I’m afraid
                F
I won’t find my way

Well, I ain’t lying
I couldn’t see, I couldn’t see your face
Behind your walls
The grand charade
Well, looks whos cryin’

Could it be we were meant to fail
to be so much more
Than this masquerade

Cuz we’re all dyin’

Verse:
Am                         C              G
Can you tell, can you tell anybody you’re alone
    F
And so afraid
Am                      C
Could’ve torn, could’ve torn my heart open
          G        F
Instead I tried to hide it all
Am                      C
I didn’t care, I didn’t care when I should’ve
   G                         F
Or say that I wanted you the most
Am                        C
I could’ve been, could’ve been the man
      G
But I ain’t
               F
That’s why I’m afraid

The Hurricane & The Grand Charade Live

Prelude:
Am I sorry for my ways?
Are we all content with fate? 
Love and all the worst is it all that I deserve?
Is this real?
reach out and see what's in my heart 
never fails
No one can bring me 
down like you

Verse:
I can say and say and say
It won't make it go away
I can pray and pray and pray
pray the pain won't come again
Like I've said and said and said 
time and time again
I can see, see, see
made me believe the lies you said

Chorus:
Would you believe I wonder, wonder yeah
What is this all a dream or was this real
Was this all a dream or was it real

Verse:
I can say and say and say
It won't bring you home to me
I can pray and pray and pray
Pray to God again
Like I've said and said and said 
time and time again and time again 
I can see, see, see
made me believe the lies you said
Be the man, the man, the man
The man you said I've never been.
I can see, see, see
There's no convincing you to stay

Chorus:
Would you believe I wonder, wonder yeah
What is this all a dream or was this real
Well was this all a dream or was this real
Chorus:
Was this real
Was this real

This all could be my fault
I know it's all my fault

Who am I to blame
Who am I to blame

Chorus:
Would you believe I wonder, wonder yeah
What is this all a dream or was this real?
So, was this all a dream or was this real?
