**[Verse 1]**
**Em**
There’s a crack running through the ceiling
**C**
Like the house can feel me breaking too
**G**
The TV glows in the corner
**D**
But nothing here feels true
**Em**
I sleep with all the windows open
**C**
Even when the air cuts cold
**G**
Trying to let the darkness leave me
**D**
But it settles in my bones
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
**C**
Everybody says, “Keep going”
**G**
Like it’s simple to survive
**D**
When your mind turns every quiet moment
**Em**
Into somewhere you can hide
---
**[Chorus]**
**Em**
The night’s got teeth
**C**
And they sink into me slow
**G**
Every memory’s a shadow
**D**
Dragging chains across my soul
**Em**
I still smile when people ask
**C**
If I’m doing alright lately
**G**
But there’s a storm behind my ribs
**D**
And it’s learning how to break me
---
**[Verse 2]**
**Em**
There’s empty bottles by the bathtub
**C**
And half-finished songs on my phone
**G**
I keep writing about disappearing
**D**
Like I’m scared to be alone
**Em**
I miss the person I was becoming
**C**
Before the world turned dark and strange
**G**
Now every little bit of happiness
**D**
Feels borrowed for a day
---
**[Bridge]**
**C**
Maybe some hearts bruise easier
**G**
Maybe mine was built that way
**D**
Too soft for all the violence
**Em**
People carry every day
**C**
And I know tomorrow’s coming
**G**
But I dread the morning light
**D**
Because waking up means fighting
**Em**
What’s waiting in my mind
---
**[Final Chorus]**
**Em**
The night’s got teeth
**C**
And I feel them when you leave
**G**
Every silence grows louder
**D**
Every breath gets hard to keep
**Em**
Still I light another cigarette
**C**
And stare at passing cars
**G**
Wondering if anybody else
**D**
Feels this lonely in the dark
