The Tide Began To Rise

	  		
Intro: Dm    C 

Dm 
I don't belong here 
         C 
I never saw this on the path I walk  
      C 
The blood-stained walls, the lines of chalk on the floor  
Dm 
It's getting so hard  
                 F    C/E         C      Bb  Bb/A  Dm 
I never saw the backlash when the tide began  to  rise  
Dm 
I can't remember  
C 
The way it was when everything felt right  
C 
My mouth held shut and my eyes sealed tight with control  

Pre-Chorus 
  Bb        Gm          D# 
So I remember on the inside 

   
 Gm  Dm           D#              F 
I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore 
 Gm  Dm                  D# 
Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain  
  F 
My heart's just the same as before  
 Gm  Dm           D#              F 
I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore 
 D#  F 
And Somehow 


Post-Chorus: ( Dm    C ) 

verse 2: 
Dm 
So now I'm stuck here  
C 
Between the guilty and the insincere  
C 
The words I spoke have left me here all alone  
Dm 
I should have known this  
               F    C/E           C        Bb    Dm 
I never saw the backlash when the tide began to rise  
Dm 
I wish it all gone  
C 
I could've burned it when I had the choice  
C 
And now I'd die to kill the noise in my head  

Pre-Chorus 
  Bb        Gm          D# 
So I remember on the inside  


 Gm  Dm           D#              F 
I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore 
 Gm  Dm                  D# 
Somehow, I won't stop feeding the pain  
  F 
My heart's just the same as before  
 Gm  Dm           D#              F 
I found a dark, infernal place I don't want to face anymore 
 D#  F 
And Somehow 


Bridge 7x: 
 Bb                       Bb/A         Bb 
If this is all the love my spirit can give  
        Dm 
Just take it back tonight  
        D# 
There is not a reason more to live 

Fade Out: 
Bb     Bb/A    Bb    Dm ... 
   D# 
There is not a reason more to live
