Verse 1:
             Cm
I've been depressed since you left, tried to fill the hole with wine
            Ab
Stopped the drugs when she came, cleaned my act up overnight
       Cm
If you reach with no reply, I'll see you when I see you, man
          Ab
You can't talk me through the fall if we don't know if I can land
         Cm
Tried to grow, but the past, it tears me down to size
         Ab
Tell the world how to process, but don't take the same advice
       Cm
Half remember what I said, then the morning's filled with fear
            Ab
Can't get a handle on my grief when every memory turns to tears
                 Eb   Bb                   Ab
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there

Chorus:
                       Cm            Eb                   Ab
Is this the ending of our youth when pain starts takin' over?
                      Bb    Eb                  Ab
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
                        Cm               Eb                     Ab
Everything's fallin' apart, when love is real, there's never closure
                              Bb      Eb                     Ab
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but feel low
             Fm                  Eb            Ab
We spend our youth with arms and hearts wide open
             Fm               Eb                 Ab
And then the dark gets in and that's the end of youth

Verse 2:
          Cm
I've been lost since the teens but pretend it's all alright
       Ab
All my ups led to falls that led to try to end my life
       Cm
Just a boy at the start, they lent on like a man
         Ab
You were meant to be my friend and not to take all that you can
     Cm
Disengaged to create, try to reinvent the wheel
       Ab
No one knows what they want, so, I just give you what I feel
     Cm
If I slip and get high, I know the low is always near
         Ab
When I'm down, I never see you, when I'm up, you all appear
                 Eb   Bb                   Ab
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
