This was the tab, I wasn?t sure how to place the
vocals so I added them with the parts over which
they?re sung. Just try to get it right.

1st Verse:
You know I?m not dead
You know I?m...you know I?m not dead
You know I?m not dead
Now you know where I?ve been
As you sleeped
Torn I am
Weighted down
Patiently
Born of love
You know I?m... you know I?m not dead
Pre ? Chorus:
I?m just living in my head
Forever waiting
On the ways of you desire (sung into Chorus)
Chorus: (sung slowly)
You always find a way
And thru it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I?m not dead
Verse:
You know...you know I?m not dead
You know I?m not dead
Found below
Where the creatures scream
Stranglehold
A god machine
Begging to
Tear us out
Worn as hope
You know I?m...you know I?m not dead
Pre ? Chorus:
I?m just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting
On the was of your desire (sung into chorus)
Chorus: (sung slowly)
You always find a way
And thru it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I?m not dead
Breakdown: (only Billy?s voice now)
We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g.
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I?m not dead
Outro:
I?m just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting on cruel death
You know I?m not dead
I?m just living for myself
Forever waiting
You know I?m not dead
You know I?m not dead
You know I?m not dead
You know I?m not dead
Rate this please!
"Lovers walk asleep
Strangers on the street
Strangers when we meet"
