verse 1 - 360 
A                        G 
You started having these migraines at a ripe age 
F                       G 
Doctor gave you codeine just to ease a slight pain 
A                       G 
  Started crippling you by the age of 14 
F                  G 
  So the doctor decided to give you morphine 
A                           G 
That was the first time you tasted what the high was like 
    F                         G 
Your brain was so fragile you weren't in your right mind 
A                G 
   We never understood that when you used to have it 
F                       G 
   We were seeing the beginnings of a future addict 
A                       G 
 And that's a honest mistake the doctor had made 
  F                            G 
He only meant to help you in a positive way 
             A                             G 
And pointing fingers in this whole shit is not going change 
        F                           G 
That we all awoken a demon that was locked in a cage 
A                         G 
  I know the drug way of life is a lonely one 
F                 G 
  I hate that it went and attracted both of us 
A                G 
  And opiates is so hard to overcome 
F                               F* 
Playing Russian roulette with a needle is a loaded gun

  Early warnings never come 
A          G                 F          G 
  Life was good when we were young 
A               G               F 
  Just like the early morning sun 
G 
We will rise up 
A          G                A*      A*     G 
  Life was good when we were young 


verse 2 - 360 
A                       G 
We didn't know you were getting bullied everyday 
F                      G 
  Tortured, but wasn't strong enough to ever say 
A                  G                           F 
  School is such a tender age it molds you in every way 
             G 
Forms and forever shapes your mental state 
A                     G 
  After copping more abuse from the friends you made 
F                       G 
  All you wanted was to get some fucking better mates 
A                              G 
 So when your head would ache,   you just medicate 
F                             G 
Now you found a better way to get away from any pain 
A                        G 
 So while you crying and lying in your bed awake 
    F                              G 
You know when the doc injects your veins it'll set you straight 
A                           G 
 We didn't know because you didn't have to ever chase 
F                               G 
Saying you got a migraine would take you to a better place 
A           G 
   Yo, this shit is going overboard 
F                   G 
  Too deep for me to help you stay afloat at all 
A                      G 
  All we've got left is hope so we hope for more 
F                           F                 F 
  'cause having false hope's better than no hope at all

verse 3 - 360 
          A                        G 
There's a day I can't wipe from my memory though 
        F                             G 
Like a episode of my life that I'm forgetting to close 
A                            G 
  He was done from life and ready to go 
         F                                 G 
Ready to hang his head in shame but at the end of a rope 
A                          G 
  His addiction has ruined everything though 
         F                     G 
Pushed away all his family and friends that he knows 
            A                                G 
We could of helped but he was too ashamed to let us all know 
    F                                  G 
We thought he found us annoying so we left him alone 
    A                           G 
For some reason Mum and Dad was sensing it though 
         F                       G 
Their instinct kicked in so they went to his home 
       A                         G 
He was trying to get clean so he went it alone 
        F                            G 
So many downers he would of ended up dead on his own (yeah) 
A                           G 
  I got a call that made me burst into tears                       } 
        F                       G                                  } 
I never heard my Dad crying, it hurt me to hear                    } Fingerpick Chords 
         A                             G                           }  
Told him it was a blessing it could be worse than it is            } 
          F                                   F              F     } 
Bring him home to those that love him for the person he is         }
