Rift 1:
Em                                          Am
Bills are stacking, money's lacking, I'm poor           
                    C7             B              Em             
I can't take it anymore; I can't see an end to this
Em                                             Am
Pills and mornings, my baby's slamming the door,
                     C7            B                  Em          
She can't take it anymore; she is leaving with the kids 

Rift 2:
                 Am        Em              B              Em  
I used to have ideas and brainstorm, my head above the water
                Am                Em              B     
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
Em               C             G                  D
Fame is such a lonely game, forsaken when it's gone
          Em            C            G       B
When it's on, it can't last much longer
Em               C              G                     D
Pain is for the wiser man, I'm noteless when you're gone
          Em             C           G     B
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
