G5
Sitting awake before the morning sun
Bb5
Only ?cause I couldn?t fall asleep while the night was young
G5
I?m restless, can?t call myself stressless
D5 D5
These past weeks have left me breathless and senseless
G5
My brother from another mother lost a brother
Bb5 G5
My father lost his father, I lost a friend, something that I couldn?t comprehend
We?ll never see these men again
D5 D5
Once upon a time life was so innocent
G5
We?re past the past
Bb5
The now is now
G5
The future will be here in a minute
D5 D5
But I don?t care what?s going down
G5
Anyhow, I miss the time with the many smiles
Bb5
When we could always stretch it for a little while
G5
Now you?re gone and it feels like I?m alone
D4. D5
Oh god dammit, how I miss you so
G5
Sometimes it will feel time can stop
Bb5
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Eb5
But then I hear a voice inside of me
D5 D5
Saying: "Better die with your chin up, than living on your knees"
G5
Daydreaming is OK sometimes
Bb5
But to face the facts really hurts
G5
And when you finally feel the weight of your burden
D4. D5
Get up again if you kiss the dirt
G5
I?d rather live one day as a lion
Bb5
Than live a hundred years as a sheep
G5
I?d rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
D5 D5
Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep
G5
The past is gone
Bb5
The now is now
G5
The future will be here in a minute
D4. D5 /C5 /Bb5 /A5
But I don?t care what?s going down, what?s going down
G5
People tell me: "Pick yourself up off the road"
Bb5
Can?t I just stay and get squashed like a little toad?
G5
They?ll say you have a burden to carry
D5 D5
Somewhere along the line there?s a girl to marry
G5
But don?t worry, I?ll get up
Bb5
I won?t give it up even if it won?t stop
G5
Hurting in my heart now that we?re apart
D5 D5
My chronic pain is about to start, will it be hard?
G5
I?d rather live one day as a lion
Bb5
Than live a hundred years as a sheep
G5
I?d rather reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven
D5 D5
Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep
G5
The past is gone
Bb5
The now is now
G5
The future will be here in a minute
D5 D5
But I don?t care what?s going down
G5
?Cause we?re past the past
Bb5
The now is now
G5
The future will be here in a minute
D5 D5
But I don?t care what?s going down
G5
Anyhow...
