Em C Em D
Em C D
Em D Em
[Verse 1]
N.C. G
I was born to this darkened world
Em D Em
Still I'm flying on broken wings
N.C.
One I've tried to make a difference
C
But what's or right or wrong?
D
I've failed to see
[Verse 2]
Em
Now I'm trying to remember
G
Who I'm once were
Em
Who I'm supposed to be
I'm a slave of the darkness
C
Born to serve
D
Live to loose
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D
In this God forsaken world
I close my eyes
Am C
Wonder if I'm going insane
D
Hearing voices in the night
[Chorus]
Em G C D
Every time I try to rise I fall
Wasted time I lived to please you
C D
Now I'm closing my eyes
Em D
For you forever
Em G
Every time I stand
C D
Behind these walls
I am trapped behind this surface
C D Em
Living my life in this masquerade
Dreaming of flying away
[Post-Chorus]
Em C D x3
C D
Em D Em
[Verse 3]
N.C.
Is this really
G
What this life should bring
Em D Em
Is it all it has to give?
N.C.
Now I'm wonder in delusion
C D
To feel my life is all that I strive
[Verse 4]
Em
Once I'm wanted to remember
G Em
But I'm not sure that I want to see
The truth of the dark parts
C D
Of my mind that is haunting me
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D
In this God forsaken world
I close my eyes
Am
So many times
C
I thought of running away
D
Just to leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Em G C D
Every time I try to rise I fall
Wasted time I lived to please you
C D
Now I'm closing my eyes
Em D
For you forever
Em G
Every time I stand
C D
Behind these walls
I am trapped behind this surface
C D Em
Living my life in this masquerade
Dreaming of flying away
[Solo 1]
Em G Em Am
[Bridge]
C D
All my dreams
Em
Where have they gone?
C D
Tried to see the light
Bm
To reach out for the sun
C D
Still my heart is beading
Bm Em
But what is left inside
C D Em
Can't escape the wrath of time
[Solo 2]
Em G Em Am
Em Am
C D Em
C D Bm
Em D Em
[Verse 5]
N.C.
I was born
G
Into this shattered world
Em
Still I'm flying on broken wings
I'm a slave to the darkness
C
Born to serve
D
To live by the rules
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D
In this God forsaken world
I close my eyes
Am
So many times
C
I thought of running away
D
Just to leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Em G C D
Every time I try to rise I fall
Wasted time I lived to please you
C D
Now I'm closing my eyes
Em D
For you forever
Em G
Every time I stand
C D
Behind these walls
I am trapped behind this surface
C D Em
Living my life in this masquerade
Dreaming of flying away
