C  Csus2    C             Csus2          Am Asus2
I see the world, through eyes of desperation

Am              Asus2    Am  Asus2
Never knew how long I'd fall

C  Csus2    C             Csus2          Am Asus2
But I fell, through years and years of darkness

Am              Asus2    Am          G
Still I cannot seem to hit the ground



G         Am                                  F
I let my guard down, and you caught me by surprise

           G
Nothing is ever carved in stone



C      Csus2 C    Am
Will I spend my life

Asus2 Am Em
Wondering

Em-D         Em    G
What could have been, and throw it away

C          Csus2 C  Am
Or will I struggle on

    Asus2   Am    Em  Em-D Em   G
And find a better path for myself



C  Csus2    C             Csus2          Am Asus2
I built my life, upon decades of experience

Am                         Asus2      Am
What I built for years took days for you to raze

C       Csus2              C           Am Asus2
In the end I learned that one single snowflake

Am         G
Can set an avalanche in motion


Am                  F                                  C
Some questions are dangerous, the truth is not an option

             G
This is the illusion I pulled down over your eyes

 Am            F                                C
But I let my guard down, and you caught me by surprise

           G
Nothing is ever carved in stone



C      Csus2 C    Am
Will I spend my life

Asus2 Am Em
Wondering

Em-D         Em    G
What could have been, and throw it away

C          Csus2 C  Am
Or will I struggle on

    Asus2   Am    Em  Em-D Em   G
And find a better path for myself



          F
For myself

    C               G
I secure my every step
                            F
Slowly I advance away from you
             C
How can I forgive you
         G
When it wasn't your fault



(One strum per chord)
C                  Am
Will I spend my life

        Em
Wondering

                 G
What could have been...
