REPEAT INTRO
Em C
Oohoohoohoohooh x2
verse 3 (like the other verses)
This is what we lost
A future and a cause
Full of ideals
Fell for belief
Backbone to the spirit
Still I cant believe it
Chorus (same way as first Chorus)
This is called a disillusion
But how could I have known
I'm writing down all my conclusions
It's time to let you go
Chorus (same way as first Chorus)
This has been an illusion
'bout all we ever had
I'm writing down all my conclusions
So I will not forget
