Rift 1:
E5                                          A5
Bills are stacking, money's lacking, I'm poor            
                    C5             B5              E5             
I can't take it anymore; I can't see an end to this
E5                                             A5
Pills and mornings, my baby's slamming the door,
                     C5            B5                  E5         
She can't take it anymore; she is leaving with the kids      

Rift 2:
                 A5        E5              B5              E5  
I used to have ideas and brainstorm , my head above the water
                A5                E5              B5      
But now it just appears that, the rainstorm has overdrawn the river

Rift 1
Optimism , the credit prison, has floored
I'm going overboard, the chances that I've missed
Rift 2
I used to have ideas not brain storms, my head above the water
But now it just appears that, the rainstorms have overgrown the river

Chorus
E5               C5             G5                  D5
Fame is such a lonely game, forsaken when it's gone
          E5            C5            G5           B5
When it's on, it can't last much longer
E5               C5              G5                     D5
Pain is for the wiser man, I'm noteless when you're gone
          E5             C5           G5     B5
When you're gone I can't be much stronger

Rift 1
An artificial flame, has lit some warmth in me
Now that you know my name and my melody
Rift 2
Glory, notoriety, as powerful as they may be
Won't take away my reason or my sanity 

Chorus X2-3
Fame is such a lonely game, forsaken when it's gone
When it's on, it can't last much longer
Pain is for the wiser man, I'm noteless when you're gone
When you're gone I can't be much stronger

Rift 1
Aggravating, a fameless craving has grown
And now that I am strong
I'm scaring you away
