1. I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor. 
     A                             B
   Reminds me of the times we shared. 
   B
   Makes me wish that you were here.
   E                              As
   Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. 
   A
   All the songs have been erased. 
   B
   Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

   Story to tell and I am listening. 
   C#       E
   Open the past and present.

   And the future too.

   It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you. 

2. Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat. 
   Gagging on a souvenir. 
   Lodged to fill another year. 
   Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds. 
   Leaving myself open wide. 
   Living out a sacrifice.

R: Open the past and present...
