C#m                    B          F#       C#m
Once was a man who consumed his place and time
                          B       F#
He thought nothing could touch him
C#m                      B         F#
But here and now it’s a different storyline
C#m                    B     F#
Like the straw he is clutching

  E                     G#m
Why has the sky turned grey
C#m                  G#m
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
      E                     G#m
And why has my life gone astray
C#m                      B           A
Scarred by disgrace, I know that its over

Chorus:
  C#m         E      B   F#
Because I’m falling down
     C#m      E       B    F#
With people standing round
      C#m     E        B
But before I hit the ground
          F#           C#m          E            B     F#
Is there time Could I find someone out there to help me?

Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Caught inside its own motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead
Howling at all this corrosion

Why did the luck run dry
Laugh in my face, so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

Chorus - x2
