Take my breath away, I don't need it anyway

cause I'm fine here in my old forgotten world

where I can be myself, left with the hand I'm dealt

and it's hard to get a grip when you're holding onto something you just let slip away


***************************************************************************************

Pre-Chorus

chords are played arpeggiated by an acoustic guitar

DmDm    C majorC       Bb majorBb  FF
All these thoughts stuck in my mind

DmDm    C majorC     Bb majorBb
spinning round like endless

  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

  time        for     once in   my   mind

*************************************************************************************

Chorus

chords are played by piano and bass


DmDm       Bb majorBb           FF
  I do wanna feel something you call real

          A augmentedA                DmDm
I don't think that I've got time for these scars to heal

            Bb majorBb             FF
  And the days just go by leaving questions in my mind

           A augmentedA
I guess I'll find the answers some day in another life


guitar plays a lead riff under that (repeated x2):

Here with my old friend, the silence in the end

And it rings so loud that I cannot pretend

I just close my eyes and ask a thousand whys

Will it change or stay the same? Will it ever go away?

The question still remains

Warning signs read desolation

On the road of desperation

Happiness machines, I'm coming clean

What can you do for me?

Chorus x2

chords played with electric guitar this time


DmDm       Bb majorBb           FF
  I do wanna feel something you call real

          A augmentedA                DmDm
I don't think that I've got time for these scars to heal

            Bb majorBb             FF
  And the days just go by leaving questions in my mind

           A augmentedA
I guess I'll find the answers some day in another life

Of a dark road out of hell

      Bb majorBb     FF
It's not so hard as I depart

    A augmentedA
What a way to become a man
