Chorus 3

G            C                Am
A heartless hand on my shoulder a push and it's over
G    C             Am
Alabaster crashes down, six months is a long time
G       C                  Am                  G          C      Am
Tried living in the real world, instead of a shell but

Before I began
        G             C    Am   C D G
I was bored before I even began
