     {This bar three times} 
 
                                     D5    C5   D5 
Spread out your wings, let's see you fly 
                             G5     C5   A5 
What does it take to get you high? 
                         G5    F5   C5 
Not something money ever buys 
D5                           D5    C5   D5 
Damage control is bought to bear 
                           G5    C5   A5 
With cracks appearing everywhere 
                            G5    F5   C5 
You're too far gone to even care 
 

D5           C5    G5 
You're in a mind set, 
D5               C5     G5 
You've got your wires crossed 
D5              C5     G5       F5     C5   D5 
Are even these words lost on you? (oh, yeah) 
 
One of these days I hope you learn 

how candles are supposed to burn 

You act as if that's no concern (of yours) 
 
You've taken a wrong turn, 

You're stuck in a tailspin 
                                          G5 
What good has your life been to you? (oh, yeah) 
 

G5                            C5   F5 
How can you shake your head (oh, yeah) 

But when you wake up dead 
C5              F5   C5 
Will that do you? 
                         G5 
Could that cure you? (oh yeah) 
                           C5   F5 
And all your friends say, (oh, yeah) 

"It had to end this way" 
C5                   F5   C5 
You couldn't face it, 
                  E5 
Was all wasted on you 
Nothing they could do 
 
There has to be a better way 
to make believe that you're o.k. 
You're not the first to be afraid 
there is no shame, (aren't you afraid?)
