 E                G#m
Just one start, a different day
          A         C#m
Would I know you at all
          A         C#m
Would I know you at all
          E                      G#m
When the kingdom falls and your family fades
        A           C#m
But it wasn't your fault,
        A           C#m
it was never your fault
      F#m                Bsus4   B
And I realize you have to feel alive

Chorus:
            F#m           C#m                B
I know your worries will escape through the door
            F#m          C#m          B
And you'll wake up all alone on the floor
              A  E B
It's not too late
              F#m    C#m B
Just rely on, rely on.

Nine months on
And people fade
I wouldn't be here at all
I wouldn't be here at all

'Cause I fell in line
At a different place
And it wasn't my fault
No, it was never my fault
And I realize
You have to feel alive
Inside
