GmSitting (355333@1)awake before the morning sun
Bb/F
Only 'cause I couldn't fall asleep while the night was young
Gm/Eb
I'm restless, can't call myself stressless
Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                                      D (xx0232@1)
These past weeks have left me breathless and senseless

GmMy (355333@1)brother from another mother lost a brother
      Bb/F (102220@1)                                                                         Gm/Eb
My father lost his father, I lost a friend, something that I couldn't comprehend
We'll never see these men again
Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                 DOnce (xx0232@1)upon a time life was so innocent

GmWe're (355333@1)past the past
Bb/F
The now is now
       Gm/Eb
The future will be here in a minute
                 Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                            DBut (xx0232@1)I don't care what's going down

GmAnyhow, (355333@1)I miss the time with the many smiles
Bb/F
When we could always stretch it for a little while
Gm/Eb
Now you're gone and it feels like I'm alone
Dsus4.                        DOh (xx0232@1)god dammit, how I miss you so

GmSometimes (355333@1)it will feel time can stop
Bb/F
Sometimes I feel like giving up
EbBut (x43121@3)then I hear a voice inside of me
              Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                              DSaying: (xx0232@1)"Better die with your chin up, than living on your knees"

GmDaydreaming (355333@1)is OK sometimes
Bb/F
But to face the facts really hurts
                        Gm/Eb
And when you finally feel the weight of your burden
       Dsus4.                          DGet (xx0232@1)up again if you kiss the dirt

GmI'd (355333@1)rather live one day as a lion
                                Bb/FThan (102220@1)live a hundred years as a sheep
                            Gm/Eb
I'd rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
                        Dsus4 (xx0233@1)               DLive (xx0232@1)my dream out in reality and not in my sleep

GmThe (355333@1)past is gone
Bb/F
The now is now
Gm/Eb
The future will be here in a minute
                 Dsus4.                           D (xx0232@1)        /C      /Bb   /A
But I don't care what's going down, what's going down

GmPeople (355333@1)tell me: "Pick yourself up off the road"
Bb/F
Can't I just stay and get squashed like a little toad?
Gm/Eb
They'll say you have a burden to carry
Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                              DSomewhere (xx0232@1)along the line there's a girl to marry

GmBut (355333@1)don't worry, I'll get up
           Bb/FI (102220@1)won't give it up even if it won't stop
                      Gm/Eb
Hurting in my heart now that we're apart
                          Dsus4 (xx0233@1)                       DMy (xx0232@1)chronic pain is about to start, will it be hard?

       Gm/Eb
The future will be here in a minute
