D  
What cause have I to feel glad?
     Am               C                           G
I've built my life on judgement and causing pain.
 
I don't know those eyes I see in the bloodstained chrome.
D
Now everything that I've had
     Am               C                         G
and everything I've known have been thrown away.

And with time I've come to find this isn't my home.
D                               Am                    C
I've stoked the fire, seen more pain that you can know.
G
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
D                               Am                    C 
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,
G                                       D 
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.
Am                               C 
I tried my best to block out the screams,
                              G 
but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
D
I man these wretched machines.
    Am                 C 
Day in, day out, the grinding wears on my brain.
G
Undermining my sanity, making me question my reality.
D
But life is not as it seems.
         Am                           C
Should I take a chance of freedom and throw it all down the drain?
G
I've been imprisoned, please burn my transgressions away.
D                               Am                 C  
I've stoked the fire, seen more pain that you can know.
G
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
D                              Am                 C 
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,
G                                     D
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.
Am                               C
I tried my best to block out the screams,
                              G
but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
D                               Am                C  
I've stoked the fire, seen more pain that you can know.
G                          
The tears of the broken have washed away my soul.
D                              Am                 C
Pushed by desire to change the way my stream will flow,
G                                    D
now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control.
D                               Am                C   
I'm sick of hurting, sick of thinking it's all I do.
G
I break those around me, those spared are very few.
D                               Am                 C
But the bright sun is burning, and my sky shines ever blue.
G                                     D
Friendships surround me, I'm becoming a part of you.
Am                               C
I tried my best to block out the screams,
                               G
but they're haunting me in my dreams.

Please break my shackles,

I want it to stop.
