Chorus:
I can't, I can't I can't, I can't take it This is the time to smile, I can't fake it
Please allow me the chance now To break it down
Post Chorus:
It's not snow, It's rain coming down And the lights are cool But they burn out
And I can't pull off the cheer Not this year Not this year Not this year
Verse 2: Aj is only palm mute here, Aly will enter
When I look into the mirror No happiness is present here
Not supposed to whine, Not supposed to cry Try to hold it in, but not this time
Aly:
(Repeat Chorus and Post Chorus, except change the last Cm chord to D#)
Bridge:
Don't know, don't know If you can hear me
I will, I will Speak louder for you
Aj: Plucking
No more whispering Are you listening I am pleading I am pleading
(Repeat Chorus and Post Chorus, except change the last Cm chord to D#)

Aly: Solo
