[Intro]
Am C D C

GDo you Amwake up in the morCning
And need Dhelp to lift your heCad?
GDo you Amread obituaCries

Not Dknowing when you'll dCive...
Do you knDow,
Do you knCow
What it's Dlike to die alive?
When a woFrld that once had color
Fades to whCite and grey and black...
When tomoFrrow terrifies you
But you'll Esus4die if you look back.
You don't knCow,
