Verse:

 E                 F#
 Don't you wonder

    C#
 Is anyone that strong

 E                  F#
 It takes me under

 C#
 Believing what I'm seeing

 E             F#  C#
 I get so tired of watching friends go down

 E               F#    C#
 The hungry tiger for all who never began

Verse:

 E              F#
 I saw the show

 C#
 Shaking all the babies

 E               F#      C#
 Should I believe the parade of clever lies

 E               F#      C#
 Shadow of light in the shadow of death

 E                     F#   C#
 There is no difference to all who never began

Bridge:

 E       F#  C#

 E                   F#  C#
    There was a time


 There was a way to live

 E                  F#  C#
 And it's no secret


 That it won't come back again

Verse:

 E            F#   C#
 I lose myself like anybody else

 E                    F#  C#
 But I'm not so strong to make it in the end

 E                  F#        C#
 I need some answers when the day comes crashing down

 E                   F#            C#
 'Cause it's all over when there's no one to be found

End on an E

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.
