C5
Ever consider
From boiling water the residue?
A sea full of people
But after the action who's left with you?
F5
They're standing on others.
You're standing on hope to see you through.
C5
The atmosphere's waning
They stand on your toes they breathe with you

C5           E5               F5
With virgin eye and heart of cold
                                            C5
I swear it's not the way I thought it would be
              E5               F5
With heart of cold and mind of child 
                                            C5
I swear it's not the way I thought it would be

C5
And of the others?
Fools in a glass house throwing stones
Delusions of lacking
Unless one can top it leave it alone
F5
A no - alee dream place
Where waves in my blood crash violent tone
C5
And after all effort
The pain and the rain claim you their own

C5           E5               F5
With virgin eye and heart of cold
                                            C5
I swear it's not the way I thought it would be
              E5               F5
With heart of cold and mind of child

*The bass plays Eb here, so it sounds slightly strange. If you 
don't have a bassist playing with you, you could play it as 
Em/Eb or just Eb if you want.
