    F         Dm                   C
You learn to leave from your father
        Gm          Dm          C       Bb
But you blamed yourself when he walked off
    F         Dm                      C
You hold your child like the last one
             Gm       Dm                   C       Bb
But then you find yourself trying to stay gone

Rage is a game for the lonely
Bb          Gm       F      C

     Bb            Am       Gm   F
It's better than walking away

It's better than walking away
Bb              Am        Gm      Am
Sometimes it's harder to stay


Than walking away from it all

F       Dm                C
Holding hands at the table

A kiss goodnight with the light on

Sunrise, words and a coffee
    Gm       Dm                 C   Bb
You miss it all just to feel free


Bb        Gm           Dm
Fear is a thief to the family

Love is the price that we pay


Walking away from it all

I like to play these next chords as power chords, although for arpeggio reasons, the
full chord is shown.

Bb        Gm           Dm
Rage is a game for the lonely
Bb       Gm            F      C
War is a front for our greed
Bb           Gm         Dm
Love makes a way but it only
Bb             Gm           F
Heals when we stay while we bleed


     C              B       Am   Gm
It's better than walking away
     Am             B       C     D
It's better than walking away
C          B        Am     B
So many reasons to stay


So walk in and wait for it all
