    Bm   F#m                   Bm                    F#m
No sleep,   no sleep until I´m done with finding the answer
       Bm  F#m                     Bm                   F#m
Won´t stop,   won´t stop before I find a cure for this cancer
D        F#m                   Bm                 F#m
Sometimes,  I feel like going down, I´m so disconnected
 D     F#m                  Bm            F#m
Somehow,  I know that I am haunted to be wanted

Chorus:
           D                     F#m
I´ve been watching, I´ve been waiting
          Bm           F#m
In the shadows for my time
                D                F#m
I´ve been searching, I´ve been living
         Bm           F#m
For tomorrows, all my life

       D          F#m           Bm  F#m
Ohoh Ohoh, Ohoh Ohoh, In the shadows
       D          F#m           Bm  F#m
Ohoh Ohoh, Ohoh Ohoh, In the shadows

They say
That I must learn to kill
Before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself
Than turn into their slave
Sometimes
I feel that I should go
And play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay
And wait for a wonder

D
Lately, I´ve been walking, walking
   F#m                             A
In circles, watching, waiting for something
 Bm                          A             F#m
Feel me, touch me, heal me, come, take me higher

Chorus

I've been watchin'
I've been waitin'
I've been searchin'
I've been livin' for tomorrows
In the shadows
I've been waitin'
