E minorEm
Never been for anything
E minorEm
Never chained but never free
 G+G        D MajorD
I lied to heal the broken love
   B minorBm     C majorC
With all that it could

E minorEm
Live the life so endlessly
E minorEm
Saw beyond what others see
 G+G         D MajorD
I tried to heal your broken heart
   B minorBm     C majorC
With all that I could

C majorC
Will you stay
D MajorD
Will you stay away forever?

E minorEm            G+G
How do I live without the ones I love?
A minorAm                E minorEm     D MajorD
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
E minorEm         G+G
Facing times always on my mind
 A minorAm                C majorC  D MajorD
I have so much to say but you're so far away

E minorEm
Means a war of futures hold
E minorEm
Foolish lies of grown and old
  G+G       D MajorD
And seems we're so invincible
  B minorBm     C majorC
The truth is so cold

E minorEm
A augmentedA final song, a last request
E minorEm
A augmentedA perfect chapter laid to rest
G+G       D MajorD
Now and then I try to find
  B minorBm     C majorC
The place in my mind

C majorC
Where you can stay?
D MajorD
You can stay awake forever!

E minorEm            G+G
How do I live without the ones I love?
A minorAm                E minorEm     D MajorD
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
E minorEm         G+G
Facing times always on my mind
 A minorAm                C majorC   D MajorD
I have so much to say but you're so far away

E MajorE
Sleep tight
   C majorC
I'm not on pray
  A minorAm          E minorEm
The ones that we love are here with me
E MajorE
Lay away
 C majorC
A augmentedA place for me
     D MajorD
'Cause as soon as I'm done
      C majorC
I'll be on my way
  D MajorD
To live eternally

(solo) E MajorE C majorC A minorAm E minorEm
    E MajorE C majorC D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

E minorEm            G+G
How do I live without the ones I love?
A minorAm                E minorEm     D MajorD
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burnt
E minorEm         G+G
Facing times always on my mind
    A minorAm
And the light you let remains
     C majorC     D MajorD
But it so hard to stay
   A minorAm                C majorC   D MajorD  E minorEm
And I have so much to say and you're so far away

You were ready
A minorAm     G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC
The pain stroke in dark spines
E minorEm
But I see you
D MajorD
An it lets me
A minorAm      G+G    D/F#D/F#   E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC
Your pain is gone on hands of time
