You were, you were, you were on my side
C                  C/B                    Am     C/B
In the war, in the war, in the war in your mind
C                    C/B                  Am     C/B
And you try, and you try, and you try to be free
C                        C/B                            Am    C/B

Well it's fading, it's fading, it's fading for me
C                  C/B                          Am      C/B
But I guess, but I guess that's the price to be free

You want it all, oh, to fall around you

C                          C/B                      Am      C/B
Now you're looking, you're looking, you're looking at me
C                C/B               Am       C/B
And I try, and I try, and I try to believe
C               C/B                   Am       C/B
How I wonder, I wonder and crave what you see
C                        C/B                            Am      C/B
That's something, that's something, that's something to be.
