Don't you wonder
C#C#
Is anyone that strong
E MajorE F#F#
It takes me under

Believing what I'm seeing

I get so tired of watching friends go down
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
The hungry tiger for all who never began

I saw the show

There is no difference to all who never began

Bridge:
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
There was a time
There was a way to live
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
And it's no secret
That it won't come back again
Verse:
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
I lose myself like anybody else
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
But I'm not so strong to make it in the end
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
I need some answers when the day comes crashing down
E MajorE F#F# C#C#
'Cause it's all over when there's no one to be found

Tabbed by wilburine
There's a heap of other little licks, especially in the chorus, but I didn't really feel that it was all
worth tabbing out. This is just the bulk of it.
