Verse 1:
C
House full of roses
G#
A letter on the stairs
C
A tape full of messages
G#
For anyone who cares
A#
Collage of broken words
G#
and stories full of tears
A#
Remembering your life
G#
Cause we wish that you were here
C
Nothing is harder
G#
Than to wake up all alone
C
Realize it's not okay
G#
It's the end of all you know
A#
Time keeps passing by
G#
But it seems I'm frozen still
A#
Scars are left behind
G#
But some too deep to feel
Chorus:
Cm
And some say this can't be real
G# A#
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
A# D# G
We're all just victims of a crime
Cm
When alls gone and can't be regained
G# A#
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
A# D# G Cm...
We're all just victims of a crime
Verse 2:
C
Some days you'll find me
G#
In the place I like to go
C
Ask questions to myself
G#
'Bout the things I'll never know
A#
What's left to find
G#
'Cause I need a little more
A#
I need a little time
G#
Can we even up the score?

Bridge:
(Tip: Look to the outside chord)
Cm G#
And nothing lasts forever
G# D#
For all good things it's true
D# G
I'd rather trade it all
G Cm
For somehow saving you
Cm G#
And must have been the season
G# D#
That threw us out of line
D# G
Once i stood so tall
G D#
Now I'm searching for a sign
D# A#
So don't need your salvation
A# Cm
With promises and kind
Cm G#
And all those speculation
G# D#
Save it for another time
D# A#
Cause we all need a reason
A# Cm
A reason just to stay
Cm G#
Some just can't be bothered
G# Cm
To stick around another day

When alls gone and can't be regained

We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
A# D# G
We've all been victims of a crime
D# G
Victims of a crime
D# G
Living with this crime
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
Cm
I'm missing you
