Capo 2

Intro: A5 , C5 , G5 , G5

         A5
You change in front of me
              C5
your eyes get darker every day
             G5
it happens quietly
G5
your focus slowly burns away
                    F5
and if you'd let me hear
                 G5
the things you seem to wanna say
         A5
though I'm late
A5                                    
I will wait to go until i know you're somewhere safe
G5                A5
and even if you chose
C5                     G5
to lock yourself away
             A5
if i listen close
C5                       G5
i can almost hear you say

Chorus
A5
once i was real
C5
once I was somebody's child
F5
once I could feel
G5
Some feeling once in awhile
A5
Once I was here
C5
Once i was somebody's friend
F5
once I appear
G5                   A5
I will be real once again

A5
You're falling into it
         C5
An inescapable release
               G5
Or something intimate
G5
between the you that no one sees
            F5
Is there a way inside
          G5
You only hide from enemies
        A5
'cause I'll wait
                              
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
G5               A5
and even if you chose
C5                  G5
to lock the world away
          A5
if i listen close
C5                      G5
i can almost hear you say

2nd Chorus
A5
once i was real
C5
once I had something to lose
F5
once I could peel
G5
Once I was harder to bruise
A5
Once I was here
C5
Once i was willing to bend
F5
once I appear
G5                   A5
I will be real once again

Solo:
A5 , C5 , G5 , G5

A5
You've fallen farther than
            C5
I've ever seen you fall before
          G5
For me to wonder when
G5
I'll recognize you anymore
            F5
To see no light inside your eyes at all
G5
To bang my head against the wall
A5                                        G5
And force myself to watch you pull away

                A5
and even if you chose
C5                G5
to laugh the world away
         A5
if i listen close
C5                        G5
i can almost hear you say

Chorus (repeat 2x):
A5
once i was real
C5
once I was somebody's child
F5
once I could feel
G5
Some feeling once in awhile
A5
Once I was here
C5
Once i was somebody's friend
F5
once I appear
G5                    A5
I will be real once again
