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)
