B
 I still cheer for you
                    G
 Ten years down the line

 Time
D
 Stepped away from me
B
 Stained with tiger stripes
D
 Losing all your lives
G     A
 Stray from this boring dream

B
 What must it be like

 With your world alight
G
 Hard to swallow
     D
 But hunger's the best spice

B
 Catch a warrior's eye
A
 With an asteroid's sign
 G  A
 Stray

 B
 How could I stay here and rust
                     D  A
 When I'm set to explode?
 B
 You can outrun everything
                        D A
 But the debts that you owe
 B
 You think I'm vicious
                                 D A
 But you don't know what vicious is
     B
 I'm numb from the distance
                             D
 So stub out the stars on my wrist
 A                        B
 Stub out the stars on my wrist

 B  A  G  A (x2)

B
 If it's just the bored
G
 Asking this kind of thing
      D
 Where do we fit in?
B
 Watch the star dust rise
D
 With your reddened eyes
G    A
 Take what you want from it

B
 We're the last ones left

 Left to convalesce
G
 Get the others
     A
 And cut to the next Scene

B
 To be truly free
 A
 Freedom comes not from, but through me
 G  A
 Take

 B

 Do you remember when the stars
           G
 Were much higher?
 D         G      A          G  A
 You would try to count them all
              G
 But you grew tired - tired - tired
