CAPO 1

Dm Dm C C
G G F F

Dm
   Over the limit
  C                            
I can't even say I'm sad, I'm sorry
G                           F
Can't even say I fear I am afraid 

Dm
   Look in the mirror
C
Have you begun to see your Mother?
G                                F
You're lining up disaster for us all

(F) Em | C G

CHORUS:
F   C   G         C          F  C
You are trying to live for tomorrow
          G             F C
Trying to block out the sorrow
F   C   G         C             F   C
You are trying to hold back the Sun rise
          G          F C
Drawing a curtain of lies

G

Dm
   I wasted my youth
C
Worrying I was wasting away
G                                        F
Waiting for someone to say ?you're number 1?

Dm
   Under the carpet
      C
Where most of my life was lived in darkness
G                                  F
Waiting for me to start to work it out

(F) C Dm | G

F   C   G         C          F  C
You are trying to live for tomorrow
          G             F C
Trying to block out the sorrow
F   C   G         C             F   C
You are trying to hold back the Sun rise
          G          F C
Drawing a curtain of lies

   Bm              Em            A
We concealed our dependencies so well
    D
And now I'm...

Dm
Over the limit
C
I can't even say I'm sad, I'm sorry
G                            F
I can't even say I fear I am afraid
