Sister, I have come to clear my name
       B
Or at least try to
     Asus2              F#m              C#m
Is there something to free me from this pain
B

Oh what did I do now


🎸 Pre-Chorus 1:
A                   F#m
 Following so many rules
                   G#
Making so many mistakes

It keeps getting away from me


🎸 Chorus:
              C#m                     E
Because this life is a game I don't know how to play
         A                    B
So many lies and disguises I can’t tell what’s fake
           C#m                  E
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
         A
You and me

We are the same

Like stepping into traffic with a hand over my eyes
C#m                B
 Feeling helpless to the tide
Asus2                      F#m
 I try to run but its the same thing еvery time
C#m             B
 We fight this war from diffеrent sides


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
A                       F#m
 But we never knew the rules
                    G#
Bend follow or to break
               E/G#
Lost in this place

So many lies and disguises I can’t tell what’s fake
           C#m                  E
But I can tell by the same sad look on your face
         A
You and me
            B
We are the same

A thousand times
               C#m
I'd save your life
               A
If you’d save mine

I feel your pain

Do you feel mine?
