Verse1:  C majorC (play the tabs everytime in the verses)
    When you find your castle on a hill
    With the bars on the windows
    Will you burn the bridge behind you'
    Will you ever come out and see the
     A minorAm           FF
    sun again' Will you hide'

      A minorAm
    Now how long has it been

       G+G
    since you´ve seen the light'

Verse2:  C majorC
    Make your way on the stairs to the top of your tower.
    Stonecold floors,hardwood doors lead you to your room
       A minorAm
    of plastic flowers

       A minorAm          FF
    They still look the same.

      A minorAm         G+G
    Drendged in water.It comforts you to think that they´re alive.


Chorus:(either you play in chords or in tabs-I think in chords sounds better)
     C majorC      E minorEm            A minorAm
    It could have been easier than this.

     A minorAm          FF             C majorC
    If you threw it all away what would you miss'

     C majorC          E minorEm              A minorAm
    It could have been too much of a chance to take.

      A minorAm         FF          C majorC
    The silence in your head would have to break.

     C majorC      E minorEm        A minorAm
    Your grip is slipping faster.

     A minorAm             FF           C majorC
    Looks like you´ll have to face yourself after all.

Note:Play the last chord C majorC like the intro again.

Verse3:    C majorC
    Step outside the shadows of your cage.
    Strangled truth, stolen youth is written on every line
       A minorAm
    of every page.

      A minorAm       FF
    It??s your story.

        A minorAm
    Do you want it back'

      G+G (2x-but without the 5 last tones of the tab)
    You have to decide if it´s worth it.
      E minorEm (2x)
    Swim across the swamp to the other side.
       A minorAm
    Run until your out of breath

      A minorAm
    When you look back there´ll be nothing left

      G+G (once-with the 5 last notes again)
    but a memory fading quickly.

Chorus:  C majorC     E minorEm         A minorAm
    It could have been easier than this....

Play the chorus twice.
End on the C-tabs (Outro = Intro)
