Verse 1

Life is a gift like fresh cut roses
B5 D5 Asus2
Cut from the branch and brought inside
G D5/A G D5/A
It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase
G Asus4 B5
When our cords are cut that's when we start to die (oh)
Lately death and life get so confusing
I can't tell the difference here tonight
Lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death
And when time is dead I cease to be alive
Chorus:
G A D5/A G
If you hide yourself deep inside
D5/A G
Deep inside
G A D5/A G
In time you've got nothing left to hide
D5/A G
There's nothing left inside

Tonight, honey
Am G
I'm gonna break your heart
G A G
Mine was broken from the start
A B5
Broken from the start (Oh)
Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1)
Choice is the only thing we're given
For one to live another dies
One road says, "Hello"

And the rose that you don't choose begin to die (Oh, oh)
Chorus 2 (Same as Chorus 1 except where noted)

Broken from the start

Broken from the start
Verse 3 (Same as other verses except where noted)
They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing
They might pay a little to hear you cry
If you do it long enough

They might even pay attention
But they still won't pay respect until you die, die
Chorus 3 (Same as Chorus 1)
If you hide yourself deep inside
Deep inside
In time you've got nothing left to hide
