G#m                 F#
I feel younger everyday
            G#m                      F#
The more I grow, the less I seem to know
G#m                                F#
I've been trying to keep my head straight
         G#m                       F#
Where I roam, it never feels like home

              E                          F#
You feel the weight of the world coming down on
your head
                E
There's people looking at you, and now they're
 F#
pulling you back
            E                          F#
I've got a circle of ink, it's in the palm of
my hand
        E                         F#
And I think it will be there for good

           E                             F#
We take a piece of ourselves, we draw a line in
the sand
                E                              F#
We say "don't cross this, or else," and then we put
up a flag
            E                          F#
Oh, how we worship the things that we don't quite
understand
          E                       F#  B F#/A# G#m
Oh, it's more dangerous than you know

Chorus:
E                                       B F#/A# G#m
I've got a message that you can't ignore
E                                       B F#/A# F#
Maybe I'm just not the man I was before
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
           F#             B   F#/A# G#m E
'Cause I, 'cause I don't need it    no more
E                                      B F#/A# G#m
I've got a hunger you will never taste
E                                      B F#/A# F#
Craving a desire that won't go to waste
G#m          F#/A# G#m       F#/A#  G#m
Take this from me, take this lonely heart
    F#           B   F#/A# F# G#m G#m F#/A# B C#m D#
And I, I'm gonna make it   my own

Someone took my ego away
Hey, so long, won't miss it now, it's gone
Now my youth is being replaced
So, good night, it's gonna be alright

'Cause now I drink the good wine and now
I get out of bed
And now I let myself love and
I'm not scared of the end
I take it all on the chin and I would do it again
Because maybe it's time for a change

I've got a pain in my neck, because
I keep looking up
I'm searching what's coming next,
but it won't come from above
And there's a hole in my chest,
like there's a hole in the sun
So tell me, what's coming next?
I'm searching, what's coming next?
I've got a pain in my neck, because
I keep looking up
I'm searching what's coming next,
but it won't come from above
And there's a hole in my chest and
I'll make it my own

Chorus

It's a chance that you take,
that you lose who you have been
When you break all the chains
that you feel comfortable in
It's a chance that I take, so my hunger can be free
In the end, in the end, in the end, in the end
