You may wanna capo the 1st fret and play the F's like E's and the Bb's like A's, and then play Dm, C, and Am
as bar chords.

And you know I have a drive

to live I won't let go
Dm Bb Dm
But can you see its opposition comes rising up sometimes
Bb
That it's dreadful and positioned comes blacking in my mind
Bb F
And that I see a darkness
Bb
And that I see a darkness

Bb
And that I see a darkness
F
Did you know how much I love you?
Bb F Dm
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?
Dm F
Well I hope that someday buddy, we have peace in our lives

And we can stop our whoreing

And pull the smiles inside
F
And light it up forever

And never go to sleep
C
My best unbeaten brother
Am Bb
This isn't all I see

Although I see a darkness

Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?
