verse 

Em                         A              
In the heart of your most solemn barren night 
Em                             A  
When your soul's turned inside out 
Em                          A            
Have you questioned all the madness you invite? 
Em                    A  
What your life is all about 
D                          C      Am  G 
Some of us choose to live gracefully 
D               G           C    Am 
Some can get caught in the maze 
                   G 
And lose their way home 
                     D 
This is the life we belong to 
    B7       Em 
Our gift divine 

Interlude: 
Em D Am Bm C  G F  B7 

verse 

Em                         A 
Have you ever wished that you were someone else? 
Em                     A 
Traded places in your mind 
                           D 
It's only a waste of your time 
D                          C      Am  G 
Some of us choose to live gracefully 
D                           C    Am 
Some can get caught in the maze 
                    G 
And lose their way home 
                     D 
This is the life we belong to 
    B7      C 
Our gift divine 

Interlude 
C C/B D C C/B D D/F# 

Verso 
C                     D  
Feed the illusion you dream about 
C                       D 
Cast out the monsters inside 
Am                   Em    F 
Life begins with an empty slate 
Dm      Dm/C                  Bb 
Fragile left in the hands of fate 
Gm         Am       Dm         Gm 
Driven by love and crushed by hate 
 C         Cm7     D7      Eb 
Until the day the gift is gone 
      Cm      D 
And shadows remain 

Solo: 
Em Bm C Am Em B Am 

Verse 
D                           C    Am 
Some of us choose to live gracefully 
D                           C   Am 
Some can get caught in the maze 
                    Em 
And lose their way home 
  A7          F#m7b5 
Memories will fade 
B7         C 
Time races on 
Am              D/F#              G 
What will they say after you're gone? 
G                     D 
This is the life we belong to 
      B7   Em 
Our gift divine 
          C     F  B7 
Our gift divine
