Within Temptation
Overcome
 
Am F
Where are the heroes
Am F
In my time of need
C Bb
Is my crying abandoned?
F
Or have they gone
E
Oh no
 
They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame
 
F
Falling and crawling
Am
A fight to stand up
G
Memory still haunts me
F
In the dead of night
 
F
Over and over
Am
I felt so small
G
But one day I'll be stronger
E
And you better watch out
 
Am F
I will overcome
C
In violence there's silence
E
Oh no,
Am
It can't be undone
F
I will overcome
C E Am
Knowing that I'm not the only one
F
I will overcome
C E
It's the only way to carry on
 
Where are the saviours
Afraid of the toll
Sorry do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul?
 
Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone?
 
Twisting and turning
It's always the same
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame
 
Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You see you're not so beautiful within
 
E F G Am
Run and run
F G Am
Run and run
 
F
I will overcome
 
Enjoy the song! (:
