Fm
Oh what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
that needs to run with the wind?

And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from the garden of the dark

G#m B           F#   G#m
Stay out of shadows, now

Looks like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never comes

Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there to exorcise your mind

D#              A#/D
Looking at the world
            C#             Cm
When you've opened up your eyes
        D#             A#/D            C#
You've got to see the promises they've made
           C    G#       Fm
They're bloody lies and broken dreams
Fm
Your silent screams

Chorus:
Fm                 D#
You're living in a time machine
              C#
And you can choose just who you are
                     C
Someone that you've never seen
                  G#       A#
Somewhere you've never been
                               Fm
You're living in a time machine

Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
just needs to catch the wind?

And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from the garden of the dark

Looking for the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You'll see you've got invisible chains
They're only lies, not what it seems
I hear your silent screams

You're living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where you've never been
Vacate to somewhere you don't know

Chorus:
Living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are?
Be what you've never been
Someone you've never seen
You're living in a time machine
Yeah
