E5           B5               E5             A5
I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again
E5          B5                A5
In endless cycle of joy and pain
E5                         B5               A5
Inside one day your whole life can change, innocence torn away
E5                    B5             A5
Trust gives gives way to a thicker skin

Verse 2:
E5                 B5    E5               A5
A shield from the pain? Or a trap that keeps it all in?
E5                      B5                   A5
They tries to break me down I had to break away
          E5                  B5                 A5
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day...

Chorus:
  E5  B5   A5    A5 , A5 , A5   E5 , B5 , A5 , A5 , A5 , A5
Whoo-ooo-ooooh

E5                   bii                          E5
I wanna be a simple man, with a little peace of mind
              aii  bii               E5
Live a simple life in a place that's kind

Verse 3:
E5           B5               E5             A5
I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again
E5             B5                A5
In an endless cycle of joy and pain
E5          B5            A5
NO POETRY, NO SYMMETRY, nothing left inside of me
     E5                B5                     A5
What happened to that feeling of invincability

Verse 4:
E5                 B5
Broken up- Caught under the load
E5                   A5
Broken down- By the side of the road
E5                      B5                   A5
They tried to break me down I had to break away
          E5                  B5                 A5
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day...
