D F#m
D A D F#m
D A Asus4 A
D A D F#m
D A Asus4 A
[Verse 1]
Bm A D A
It went so well for you
F#m E
With a place right where you wanted
D E
And the ones to fill it to
Bm A D A
But some blows break the spell
F#m E
That it hits you every day
D E F#m D F#m D
Until you need to hit as well
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It’s just a shadow of the man you should be
F#m Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E A Esus4 E
That the world will never see
F#m Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E A Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
F#m D F#m D F#m D
And it feels like hell
[Link]
D A D F#m
D A Asus4 A
[Verse 2]
Bm A D A
It all seemed fine for you
F#m E
Till the struggle of ambition
D E
Turned in violence upon you
Bm A D A
Sometimes a landslide comes
F#m E
If you’re hiding in that avalanche
D E F#m D F#m D
You need a place to run
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It’s just a shadow of the woman you should be
F#m Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E A Esus4 E
That the world will never see
F#m Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E A Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
F#m D F#m D
And it feels like hell
[Instrumental]
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
[Bridge]
D Bm E F#m
I know there is no need for what’s been done
D Bm E F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D Bm E F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D Bm E
And there’s never been a hand
[Verse 3]
Bm A D A
Did we ever have it good
F#m E
While we lived in Eldorado
D E
Did we find the gold we should
Bm A D A
If it really was the truth
F#m E
Why are faces filled with anger
D E F#m D F#m D
That should only shine with youth
[Chorus]
F#m Esus4 E A Esus4 E
It’s just a shadow of the people we should be
F#m Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E A Esus4 E
That the world will never see
F#m Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E A Esus4 E
Only questions to be filled
F#m D
And it feels like hell
[Instrumental]
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
Bm E F#m D
[Bridge]
D Bm E F#m
I know there is no need for what’s been done
D Bm E F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D Bm E F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D Bm E F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares
D Bm E F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
D Bm E F#m
If we only get our back against the wall
D Bm E F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
D Bm E F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear
[Outro]
Bm E F#m D
