F#m         D
Here as I stand
         A
All the signs
          E/G#
become so clear
            F#m
To get back home
          D
again Sometimes
           A   E/G#
I lose my way hey
             D
Because I'm bound
to fall and I just
lose it all Am I
 E
runnin' outta time?

Chorus:
                 F#m
I'm breaking the chain
          A
From the life I knew
         E
Beaten black and blue
      D
It's time to be face
    F#m           A
to face With the lies
                 E
I choose or the truth
          D
into the lie I make
      F#m
no mistake I've paid
     A
my price I've done my
 E             D
time with the devil
      F#m
in disguise Cause the
 A
life I knew has a
 E                D
different view tonight
                  F#m D A E
I'm breaking the chain

Days pass me by like
I'm saving wasted time
I'm not all right,
I think I've fallen for the lie, aye
And as it fades to black,
I'm not looking back
I'm so blinded by the light

Chorus

      F#m
Cause I'm not chasing
              D
chasing yesterday
                 C#
I've lost the feeling
 F#m
Skies don't fade
                D
they never go away
                  C#
And I'm still bleeding
D
Every step I take
all the chains I
  E
break It brings
   C#/F          F#m D A E
me one step closer
              F#m  D A
Breaking the chain

Chorus

                  F#m  A E D
I'm breaking the chain
I'm breaking the chain
