E
I want to disappear
B7
Far from the folks I know
A
I want to get an answer
B
To why I was even born
E
No one here can tell me
B7
What’s been haunting me all my life
A
Well this rat race has left me limping
B
Cause I balanced on the edge of the knife
E
Why am I here?
B
Oh what should I do?
A E B7
Well is this the point I’m trying to prove?
E
If there’s a god in my head
B7
Then there’s a devil too
A
How can I tell the difference
B
When they both claim to be true
E
Maybe God is God
B7
Maybe the Devil is me
A
Well I just throw my chains on
B
And tell myself that I’m free
E B
Chains. Are they really there?
A
Is this just in my head?
E B7
Well I’ll just stay in bed
E
Life sure has its meaning
B7
Over years I have postured the sun
A
Thieves and preachers robbed me
B
For many hat that I’ve hung
E
Now with my heart wide open
B7
I listen to the wind just for a word
A
Sure, I know it’s futile
B
But that’s all I have in this world
E
To look down from the hill
B
And howl at the moon
A E B7
All the tears I cried never salted any wounds
E B
Well the earth is so tender and cruel
A E B7
Well if you’re not there it’s still so beautiful
