ADA
Lying still, head awake,
F#mEA
eyes closed tight and thoughts ablaze,
ADA
It’s coursing like a river going through my mind,
F#mEA
taking hits from the hands of time.
ADAF#mEAADA
Silence can be so odd,
F#mEA
it’s like looking around for the eyes of God,
ADA
There’s a truth somewhere that I just can’t find,
F#mEA
taking hits from the hands of time.
ADAF#mEAADA
And I wonder if you were here right now,
F#mEA
would you sit with me beneath this darkened shroud?
ADA
In this prison built from bricks of shame,
F#mEA
I want to tear it down to the frame.
ADAF#mEAADA
If you smash your life up against the wall,
F#mEA
you want to break it like a bottle and just let go,
ADA
But I don’t know if there’s a God at all,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more.
F#mD
And the hours go by endlessly, and the days were spent breathlessly,
F#mA
and the nights begging for some sleep. Oh the endless time alone.
F#mE
And the faces of the boys in line, there was fear in their eyes, and they all,
ADAF#mEA
We just want to find a way home home
ADAF#mEA
home home
ADA
I can hear the birds, see the light outside,
F#mEA
stand up like a man and swallow my pride,
ADA
I can write these words down in a rhyme.
F#mEA
They’ve been beaten from me by the hands of time.
ADA
I don’t know why it’s always this way,
F#mEA
and I hang my head low in the light of day,
ADA
All I know is I’m tired of being afraid,
F#mEA
I got to walk this road on these bricks I’ve laid.
F#mD
All the trumpets and the marching bands, the thunder claps and trembling hands,
F#mA
all the people stood up in the stands, and I just felt so alone,
F#mE
‘Cause the halos looked like rusted chains in the light As we screamed in the dark,
ADAF#mEA
I just wanted to find a way home
ADAF#mEA
home
ADAF#mEAAAADA
The truth is I’m not brave or sure,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more,
ADA
I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more.
ADA
The truth is I’m not brave or sure,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more,
ADA
I don’t know what I’ve been waiting for,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more.
ADA
And I don’t know if this road will end at your door,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more,
ADA
I don’t even know what I’m heading for,
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more.
F#mEA
I just know I can’t live like this no more.
