A D A Lying still, head awake, F#m E A eyes closed tight and thoughts ablaze, A D A It?s coursing like a river going through my mind, F#m E A taking hits from the hands of time. A D A F#m E A A D A Silence can be so odd, F#m E A it?s like looking around for the eyes of God, A D A There?s a truth somewhere that I just can?t find, F#m E A taking hits from the hands of time. A D A F#m E A A D A And I wonder if you were here right now, F#m E A would you sit with me beneath this darkened shroud? A D A In this prison built from bricks of shame, F#m E A I want to tear it down to the frame. A D A F#m E A A D A If you smash your life up against the wall, F#m E A you want to break it like a bottle and just let go, A D A But I don?t know if there?s a God at all, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more. F#m D And the hours go by endlessly, and the days were spent breathlessly, F#m A and the nights begging for some sleep. Oh the endless time alone. F#m E And the faces of the boys in line, there was fear in their eyes, and they all, A D A F#m E A We just want to find a way home home A D A F#m E A home home A D A I can hear the birds, see the light outside, F#m E A stand up like a man and swallow my pride, A D A I can write these words down in a rhyme. F#m E A They?ve been beaten from me by the hands of time. A D A I don?t know why it?s always this way, F#m E A and I hang my head low in the light of day, A D A All I know is I?m tired of being afraid, F#m E A I got to walk this road on these bricks I?ve laid. F#m D All the trumpets and the marching bands, the thunder claps and trembling hands, F#m A all the people stood up in the stands, and I just felt so alone, F#m E ?Cause the halos looked like rusted chains in the light As we screamed in the dark, A D A F#m E A I just wanted to find a way home A D A F#m E A home A D A F#m E A A A A D A The truth is I?m not brave or sure, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more, A D A I don?t know what I?ve been waiting for, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more. A D A The truth is I?m not brave or sure, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more, A D A I don?t know what I?ve been waiting for, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more. A D A And I don?t know if this road will end at your door, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more, A D A I don?t even know what I?m heading for, F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more. F#m E A I just know I can?t live like this no more.
