And from the corner of my eye, I see the darkness always follows

And now you know that I know only sadness sets me free

So come on, set me free from my vain and selfish ways

My persistence will be boundless, and the future wide and clear
           G            G          C           G

Your laughter evaporates the struggles of a deer
           G            G                 C              G
But in the shiny sea of life, there's the longboat of frustration
