Dm Am Gm C Gm C Am

Dm Am

From a stage in your heart

Gm C

I can tell that you're far from yourself

Gm C Am

When you barter your lust for your health

Dm Am

And when you claim it's all a play

Gm C

And you just don't care

I only stare

C Am Dm Am

I'm a director watching you rehearse

Gm C Gm C Am

Dm Am Gm C Gm C

Am Dm Am

You say "lend me your eyes to evolve

Gm C

From that actor I fight in the dark

Gm C Am

Where I'm two twins I can't tell apart!"

Dm Am

But you remember which is which

Gm C

When the wrong man wins

Gm C

You will hate who you are

Gm C

'Til you overthrow who you've been

F Am

Dm Am

F Am

Dm Am

How'd you expect your soul

To send a whole patrol

If you were too far gone

For me to know where to find you?

I've wandered out alone

Into your cold unknown

To try to bring you home

So you forgot your way?

Well I'm trying to remind you

F Am F Am F Am Dm Am
