[Intro]
C#m7*  B  F#sus4* F#sus4* (x2)

[Verse 1]
C#m7* B                F#sus4* F#sus4*
 He   tried to see the light
C#m7*  B              F#sus4*
 Limbs failed when he fell down
 F#sus4*   C#m7*
 from the couch
     B           F#sus4*
With fear in his eyes
   F#sus4*  Eadd9        G#m7*
He tried to talk but the words
              F#sus4* F#sus4*
wouldn't come out

[Verse 2]
C#m7*   B
 Seemed like he lost
     F#sus4* F#sus4*
 his mind
C#m7* B              F#sus4*
 Felt helpless as he rolled
 F#sus4*   C#m7*
 around the floor
     B               F#sus4*
Sent shivers down my spine
     F#sus4*     Eadd9     G#m7*
What has he done? Will his mind
          F#sus4* F#sus4*
ever come back?

    Eadd9    G#m7*         F#sus4*
But everyday people try to numb
all their pain
F#sus4*          Eadd9
Or they say it's just fun and games,
G#m7*                F#sus4* F#sus4*
living while they're young
    Eadd9      G#m7*          F#sus4*
And every time all they do is mess
with their mind
F#sus4*         Eadd9
Think about the rest of your life,
    G#m7*       F#sus4* F#sus4*
you only get one

[Verse 3]
C#m7* B           F#sus4* F#sus4*
 Then suddenly outside
C#m7* B                F#sus4*
 He   jumped headfirst from the
 F#sus4* C#m7*
 second  floor
     B               F#sus4*
Sent shivers down my spine
     F#sus4*     Eadd9    G#m7*
What has he done? Has his time
           F#sus4* F#sus4*
really run out?

        C#m7*   B
There's so much more that
