verse 1 
D 
What cause have I to feel glad? 

     Bb                   C 
I've built my life on judgment and causing pain. 

D                         Bb                      C 
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome. 

D 
Now everything that I've had 

    Bb                  C 
and everything I've known have been thrown away. 

D                          Bb                 C 
And with time I've come to find this isn't my home. 


Chorus 
D                                    C                 G 
I-I-I've stroked the fire, seen more pain that you can know. 

Bb               A           Bb             D 
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul. 

D                              C                  A 
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow, 

Bb         A             Bb          D 
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control. 

Bb                                D 
I try my best to block out the screams, 


but they're haunting me in my dreams. 

Bb 
Please break my shackles, 

             C 
I want it to stop. 


Verse break 
D 
Bb   C 


D 
I man these wretched machines. 

Bb                   C 
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain. 

D                     Bb           C   
Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality. 

D 
But life is not as it seems. 

         Bb                            C 
Should I take a chance of freedom and throw it all down the drain? 

D                            Bb                     C 
I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away. 



Chorus 
D                                    C                 G 
I-I-I've stroked the fire, seen more pain that you can know.

The tears of the broken have washed away my soul. 

D                              C                  A 
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow, 

Bb         A             Bb          D 
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control. 

Bb                                D 
I try my best to block out the screams, 


but they're haunting me in my dreams. 

Bb 
Please break my shackles, 

             C 
I want it to stop.

D                            C                   G 
I'm sick of hurting, sick of thinking it's all I do. 

Bb            A                Bb              D                          
I break those around me, those spared are very few. 

        D                             C               A 
But the bright sun is burning, and my sky shines ever blue. 

Bb          A                Bb                 D 
Friendships surround me, I'm becoming a part of you. 


Bb                                D 
I try my best to block out the screams, 


but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Please break my shackles, 

             C
