  Verse 1:
  Bm   A    D  A
It went so well for you
    F#m          E
With a place right where you wanted
    D        E
And the ones to fill it to
  Bm     A     D  A
But some blows break the spell
    F#m      E
That it hits you every day
     D       E   F#m D  F#m  D
Until you need to hit as well


  Chorus:
      F#m        Esus4 E  A  Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
    F#m      Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E    A          Esus4 E
That the world will never see
  F#m        Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E  A           Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
    F#m    D   F#m D F#m  D
And it feels like hell

  Verse 2:
  Bm     A    D  A
It all seemed fine for you
     F#m     E
Till the struggle of ambition
     D        E
Turned in violence upon you
Bm     A     D   A
Sometimes a landslide comes
     F#m      E
If you're hiding in that avalanche
  D        E  F#m  D  F#m  D
You need a place to run


  Chorus:
      F#m         Esus4 E  A  Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be
    F#m      Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E    A          Esus4 E
That the world will never see
  F#m        Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E  A           Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
    F#m    D   F#m  D
And it feels like hell

  Bridge:
D         Bm    E      F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done
D        Bm     E  F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D          Bm  E    F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D           Bm  E
And there's never been a hand


  Verse 3:
    Bm  A    D  A
Did we ever have it good
     F#m    E
While we lived in Eldorado
    D        E
Did we find the gold we should
   Bm   A    D  A
If it really was the truth
    F#m        E
Why are faces filled with anger
      D     E      F#m  D  F#m  D
That should only shine with youth


  Chorus:
      F#m        Esus4 E   A  Esus4 E
It's just a shadow of the people we should be
    F#m      Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E    A          Esus4 E
That the world will never see
  F#m        Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E  A           Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
    F#m    D
And it feels like hell

  Bridge:
D         Bm  E     F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done
D        Bm   E    F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D         Bm   E    F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D          Bm  E      F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares

D            Bm    E    F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
D         Bm  E      F#m
If we only get our back against the wall
D          Bm   E      F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
D           Bm   E  F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear
