A Better Way Chords & Lyrics - Broadside

[VERSE]
[C]There is a darkness
that s[D]its in the back of your mind.
We sp[Em]ent our youth creating futures
where we both w[G]ould have our time.
[C]We were 15, so naive
[D]and blinded by possibilities.
[Em]We used to feel so alive,
[G]what dulled your shine?

[CHORUS]
[C]But there has got to be a better way[D]
then d[Em]rowning in this hateful place. [G]
[C]The look inside your mother’s e[D]yes
when she found[Em] you blacked out on the couch,
[G]waiting to die.

[VERSE]
[C]And at the bottom of every bottle [D]
there is a sile[Em]nce,
where you questio[G]n

your existence.
[C]Denying the fact that maybe there is
[D]more to life than this.

[CHORUS]
[C]But there has got to be a better way[D]
then d[Em]rowning in this hateful place. [G]
[C]The look inside your mother’s e[D]yes
when she found[Em] you blacked out on the couch,
[G]waiting to die.

[BRIDGE]
[C]And now the world [D]
will never know [Em]
the [G]brother that I’ve

grown to love.
[C]And I blame myself
cause I did[D]n’t realize,
The sa[Em]dness that consumed
was always hidden [G]by your smile.

[C]February 11th[D] , the darkest day. [Em]
I hope your soul will rest easy, [G]

and you’re no longer in pain.

[CHORUS]
[C]But there has got to be a better way[D]
then d[Em]rowning in this hateful place. [G]
[C]The look inside your mother’s e[D]yes
when she found[Em] you blacked out on the couch,
[G]waiting to die.
