Dm      A#      F
Take my breath away
        A/C#
I don’t need
       Dm          A#
it anyway cos I’m fine
           F
here in my own forgotten
A/C#              Dm   A#
world where I can be myself
               F        A/C#
left with the hand I’m dealt
        Dm
And its hard to get a grip
          A#
when your holding on to
something that you
 F              A/C#
just let slip away

Chorus:
Dm          C            A#     F
All these thoughts stuck in my mind
 Dm       C         A#       F
spinning round like endless time
 Am             Dm
For once in my life I do want
    A#        C             F
to feel something you call real
                   Am
I don’t think that I’ve got
                        Dm
time for these scars to heal
                     A#
And the days just go by leaving
 C               F
questions in my mind I
                   Am
guess ill find the answers
                   Dm A/C#
someday in another life

Here with my old friend
The silence in the end
And it rings so loud that I cannot pretend
If I just close my eyes
And ask a thousand whys
Will it change or stay the same?
Will it ever go away?
The question still remains

Chorus:
Dm          C            A#     F
All these thoughts stuck in my mind
 Dm       C         A#       F
spinning round like endless time
 Am             Dm
For once in my life I do want
    A#        C             F
to feel something you call real
                   Am
I don’t think that I’ve got
                        Dm
time for these scars to heal
                     A#
And the days just go by leaving
C               F
questions in my mind I
                    Am
guess i'll find the answers
someday in another life

Dm       Am         F   A/C#
Morning signs read desolation
Dm      Am      F    A/C#
on the road of desperations
Dm    C/E     F         A/C#
happiness machines I’m coming
Dm         C/E      F      A/C#
clean what can you do for me

Chorus:
Dm
I do want
    A#        C             F
to feel something you call real
                   Am
I don’t think that I’ve got
                        Dm
time for these scars to heal
                     A#
And the days just go by leaving
 C               F
questions in my mind I
                   Am
guess ill find the answers
    A/C#           Dm
someday in another life
A# F  A/C#    Dm
Oh oh oh oh oh

Dm
oh oh oh oh oh
A#
oh oh oh oh oh
F
oh oh oh oh oh
A/C#
oh oh oh oh oh
   Dm          A#   C      F
So here now I stand at the end
     A/C#             Dm
of a dark road out of hell
           A#      C    F
its not so hard as I depart
     A/C#               Dm
what way to become to a man
