Verse1:    C (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
          Am                      F
       sun again' Will you hide'

            Am
       Now how long has it been

              G
       since you´ve seen the light'


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

             Am                   F
       They still look the same.

            Am                 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            Em                       Am
       It could have been easier than this.

          Am                   F                         C
       If you threw it all away what would you miss'

         C                   Em                            Am
       It could have been too much of a chance to take.

           Am                  F                    C
       The silence in your head would have to break.

          C           Em                Am
       Your grip is slipping faster.

          Am                         F                      C
       Looks like you´ll have to face yourself after all.


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

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

           Am              F
       It??s your story.

               Am
       Do you want it back'

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

            Am
       When you look back there´ll be nothing left

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

Chorus:   C         Em                  Am
       It could have been easier than this....

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