Am F   G Em
I see houses
 G        Em      F   Dm
Rows and rows of red bricks
I see black cars
Some blood-stained exit

Chorus:
F           Em         Dm
I get this feeling that I
      Em          F
I've been here before
           Em          Dm
How many lives will I waste?
          Em           F
How many tears must I taste
            Em
Before my freedom?
Dm Em
Ah-ah-ah
F           Em
Before my freedom?
Dm  Em
Ah-ah-ah

I see mountains
Blood-red sunsets
I see a billion stars
Love deafened and betrayed

Chorus:
I get this feeling that I
I've been here before
How many lives will I waste?
How many tears must I taste
Before my freedom?
Ah-ah-ah
Before my freedom?
Ah-ah-ah

I won't be late, won't be late
I won't be late, won't be late
I won't be late, won't be late

Chorus:
I get this feeling that I
I've been here before
How many lives will I waste?
How many tears must I taste?
Before my freedom?
Ah-ah-ah
I get this feeling that I
I've been here before
How many lives will I waste?
How many tears must I taste?
Before my freedom?
Ah-ah-ah

It's just this murder
Trouble and strife
Turning me into another guy
It's just murder
Trouble and strife
Turning me into another guy

Don't be late
Don't be late
Don't be late
When I call you up
When I call you up
