B5
Like the perfect ending

It won't be too long

Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone

Now you know the man I am

Can you forgive me?

I fall

Like the sands of time

Like some broken rhyme

At feet no longer there
 
E E/Eb E/C# E/B C Dsus9
If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel

With every lie that I lived

Part of me would fade
B5/D# B/C#
Into this empty shadow I've become
B5/G#
And now I feel so numb
B5/F# B/C#
I no longer know myself
B5/E B5/F#
But I still know you
 
Bm Bm/C# Bm/D
I call
Bm/E Asus9
And there's no reply

Like some phantom cry

On ears too far away
 
E E/Eb E/C# E/B
I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by

The only thing I see is you
E E/Eb E/C# E/B C
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
Dsus9 E
I say thank you

Here lies my life

It never felt that real to me
