[C#] _ _ _ _ [E] Hey Joe, this is Chris.
What's up [B] with you man?
I've been trying to reach you for a [E] while now.
I've [B] got everybody I can [C#m] think of and no one knows where you're at.
I know you've been [E] going through a lot here lately, but [B] dude, you have a lot of people who care about you.
[E] And this toxic life [B] you've been living, there's no [C#m] good outcome in it, brother.
Your kids and [E] your girl need you, sir.
Don't set [B] yourself short.
The sky's the limit for you, man.
[E] Anyway, hit [B] me up when you get this.
[C#] I need to hear from you.
Let me know you're [E] okay.
Keep your head up and remember, [B] God's got you.
Peace.

So afraid [E] of this, this heart of [B] mine
This emptiness, [E] it hits me every time

[C#m] I fell in love with what I couldn't [E] have
Gave my trust when I shouldn't [B] have
I fed the dust once [E] again
It never [B] ends, I get too [C#] attached
Just fairy tales and make [E] believe in a dark place
Trying to chase a [B] dream, but it's hard to do
When you're born to [E] lose
And I can feel the [B] demons still chasing [F#] me
But [C#] patiently, I became [E] numb
Started to go back to what I came from
That [B] simple life I was raised [E] from
But I'm in too deep and I can't [C#] run
You win some and you lose [E] some
You love some and you hate some
[B] You can heal hearts or break [E] some
But you dish it out [B] and you gonna take [C#] some
Locked away [E] in this, this cage of mine

[C#m] When the smoke clears, I'm still [E] standing
Broken pieces from a crash [B] landing
Alone and stranded, but I'm not [E] surprised
I kept it real, [B] I never compromised
[C#] I've been lost inside, but I found [E] reason
I've been left to die, but I'm alive and [B] breathing
I'm hanging on, I barely made [E] it
Trying to find [B] success, I could barely [C#] taste it
I lived my life in some scary [E] places
But my time is coming, I'm very [B] patient
I feel alive after what I've been [E] faced with
Somehow surviving, hell's [F#] basement
[C#] Time wasted on bad [E] decisions
Had a good vision, but bad [B] intentions
I was medicated with a bad addiction
[E] Like a loaded [B] gun full of [C#] ammunition
Locked away [E] in this, this cage of mine
[B] This misery, [E] it's, it's [B] in my mind, [C#] yeah

[B] These memories, [E] they [B] eat me up inside
[C#] So I, I paint a flag [E] and I, I dim the lights
[B] And I call out to God, [E] can you hear me [C#] crying?

[A#]
Are you listening?
[B] _ Can you hear me
