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

Dm    C       Bb  F

  I do wanna feel something you call real

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

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

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

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


Dm       Bb           F
  I do wanna feel something you call real

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

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

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



this chords progression is then repeated again

Dm  Bb  F  A

Outro:

chords played by piano only


Dm  Bb  F  A


  Dm     Bb      F
So here now I stand at the end

   A         Dm
Of a dark road out of hell

      Bb     F
It's not so hard as I depart

    A
What a way to become a man
