[Intro D5 Bb5 F5 C5 C5 - pause]
D5                  Bb5
When I was young my father would say
F5                       C5
Time bends its back for no one my son
    D5                            Bb5
And bright skies they only fool a man who are blind
   F5                          C5
So look through the smile and see what's behind
D5                                 Bb5
Now that you left, all my dreams - drifted away
  F5                    C5
I try to move past but life's not the same

[Pre-chorus]
     Bb5
If I only knew then
    C5
the things I know now
    D5
I'd take it all back
    Bb5
and turn it around

[chorus]
      F5                 C5                    D5
Cause I have so much to say and more to give today
           Bb5
this is no life to live (you gotta give)
      F5                 C5                    D5
Cause I have so much to say and more to give today
           Bb5
this is no life to live (you gotta give)
F5         C5      Bb5
Must be a better way - a better way
[ D5 Bb5 F5 C5 C5 ]

[v2]
Now I sit here in a cage all my own
It's a new life, it's a brand new home
It's made out of steel, it's built out of fear
It's closed up to you and it's part of the deal

[Pre-chorus]

[chorus]

[Lead: Bb5 C5 D5 C5 4x]

[bridge]
Turn back the clock [ D5 ]
and put it all back [ C5 ]
I'll make the time last. [ Bb5 ]

[chorus 2x]
