ABut when I Ethink of it
I don't know Dwhat it could Abe

Oh I've Dnever seen the night sky Aburn so bright
The mere F#mvision could turn you Eblind
And I Dnever knew it could Ahappen like this
But you F#mnever knBow till you Esee 
The day Athrough
[VERSE TWO]
ALife's what yoEu make it
But it deDpends on where E7you Astart
And this Dwoman in Afront of me
Says she'll meet F#mmy fate in her Ecar
So Awhere are we all Eheaded?
And Dwhat was my Aplan?
DShe has no iAdea but speaks of some F#mtall dark handsoEme man

The mere F#mvision could turn you Eblind
And I Dnever knew it could Ahappen like this
But you F#mnever knBow till you Esee 
The day Athrough

  BmNow everything I Etouch
Turns into some Adistant memorDy
  BmYou'll pass me Eby
But noAbody seems to Dsee
I have Bmno idea
EWhat I'm running towards
