[Verse 1]
G                 Bm                Em        Em
  How I wish I could surrender my soul
C                                  
  Shed the clothes that become my skin
G                                     D        D
  See the liar that burns within my needing
G                  Bm                 Em        Em
  How I wish I'd chosen darkness from    cold
C
  How I wish I had screamed out loud
G                         D        D
  Instead I've found no meaning
[Chorus]
                      G            D                     Em
I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain
                   C
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
G                 Bm                 Em
  Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
                      C
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
     G                 D                          G     D
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain
[Verse 2]
G                             Bm                    Em                Em
  How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind (Hold memory close at hand)
C                           G                        D             D
  Hold memory close at hand, help me understand the years (I wish you were)
G                                Bm            Em        Em
  How I wish I could choose between heaven and    hell 
C                                 G                  D        D
  How I wish I would save my soul, I'm so cold from fear
[Chorus]
                      G            D                     Em
I guess it's time I run far, far away, find comfort in pain
                    C
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
G                 Bm                 Em
  Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray
                      C
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble
G            D                     Em
  Far, far away, find comfort in pain
                   C
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
     G                 D                          G     D
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain
[Interlude]
 G        D        Em             C 
(Ah-ah-ahhh ah-ah-ah) Tears and rain
         G       Bm             Em    C
(Ah-ah, ah-ah-ahhh) Tears and rain
[Outro]
G            D                     Em
  Far, far away, find comfort in pain
                    C
All pleasure's the same, it just keeps me from trouble
     G                 D                          G 
It's more than just words, it's just tears and rain
