Intro : Bm--G-- 
 
Verse : 1 
 
          Bm 
On the Chicago  
River after dark 
             G 
We watch the city lights 
tear the sky apart 
    Bm 
The wind was blowing  
her hair around 
       G 
As the scenery explodes 
I'll tell you how 
  Bm 
I fell into an old cliche 
       G 
Always on the road  
only halfway sane 
   Bm 
No hospital can fix 
            G 
what I've become 
 
Chorus : 1 
 
     D 
I've trapped myself  
     Em 
in a ring of fire 
     G 
If I say I'm okay 
I'm also a liar 
    D        Em 
The only way out is  
            G 
through the pain 
 A 
(How am I gonna  
get through this?) 
 
Interlude : Bm-- 
 
Verse : 2 
 
  Bm 
I got so low  
that I get high 
        G 
Just to sit and  
watch the miles go by 
        Bm 
Now I'm cold and sweaty  
with a nauseous heart 
        G 
I got a million addictions 
wearing me down 
  Bm 
I fell into an  
old cliche 
       G 
Always on the road  
only halfway sane 
 
Repeat Chorus : 1 
 
Chorus : 2 
 
         D 
And as I write these words 
   Em 
my hands start to shake 
     G 
With trouble sneaking  
in not a second too late 
    D        Em 
The only way out is  
            G 
through the pain  
  A 
Tomorrow I'll start again 
 
Interlude : D-- (x2) 
 
Bridge : 
 
Bm            G 
  And now I'm begging for help 
  D 
I know I can't get up 
A                       F#/Bb 
Gotta face this one all alone 
Bm         G 
  And if I don't make it 
  D 
Remember that I'll  
A 
always be a part of you 
 
(Rpeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2) 
 
Outro: D-- (x4)
