Sitting in the hotel room
C D G
The kids have just gone to sleep
C G
Don’t have the money to stay,
D G
But I had to get away
C G D
I’m tired of living with the fear
C G D G
Broken and it won’t be healed
C G Am D
You took from me, my faith in the world
Em C D G
When hands that hurt, should be hands that hold
C D G
I know that its time to leave
When first we met, how the world seemed new
Your smile would light up my day
But now you’ve shown me a side
Which you did well to hide
A violence where there should be a heart
For so long, I shared the blame,
Looking for what I’d done wrong,
But now I know it isn’t me,
I was too scared to see,
That the only monster was you
