Em
I don't believe I think
I'm falling asleep
           C
Is this beginning or ending
      B/D#
am I stuck in a dream?
  Em              C
I don't want to know
         G         B/D#
what I think I suppose
Em
Out of the light and
into this time of demise
                C
And there's a cross on
                   B/D#
the hill the holy image lies
      Em        C
I've opened my mind but
       G             B/D#
this dream is still real

Em                 C
You don't need to worry
B/D#      Em   C
I'm just fine I've
              G  D
just lost my mind

Chorus:
Em  C G D/F#
Yeah
Em
Tell me it's
C        G
over cos I don't
        D/F#
feel a thing at all
    Em                C
No conscience that's no more
 G               D
senses all have disappeared
   Em          C
Am I alright alive tonight
 G          D/F#
Paranoid am I too late?
   Em          C
Am I alright alive tonight?
G                D/F#
Crash and fall into
                Em C G D/F#
this night with me

C          G     D          Em
Look in my eyes tell I'm alright
   C            G/B         D
I don't know if I'm still alive
     C          G
If this is goodbye
   D             Em
Forever's just a lie
 C             G               D
Big enough to make you wanna try

    Em       C    G/B     B/D#
In just one life how can we
 Em    C        G/B     B/D#
live enough to rest in peace
    Em       C
In just one life
(Just one life)
G/B     B/D#
How can we
Em     C
live enough
   G/B     B/D#  Em
to rest in peace now

Em          C            G
Here as I stand head in hand
    B        B/D#  Em
and one hand on my heart
       C                 G
As I depart it's not so hard
        B        B/D#   Em
What a day to become a man
     C        A/C#        D
You had your scars but I never
             Dm
thought that you would give me mine
