Bridge:
Bb majorBb C majorC
And I know you hear their voices
Bb majorBb
(calling from above)
C majorC
And I know they may seem real
Bb majorBb
(these signals of love)
But our life's made up of
C majorC Bb majorBb
choices (some without appeal)
G/BG/B C majorC
They took for granted your soul
A/C#A/C# Dm---
and it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life!!
(Repeat Chorus 2)
