[Verse]
Bm7close my eyes and ask myself a Gquestion
Bm7why is it i do what i Gdo
Bm7am i looking for some Ghappy definition
Bm7of life and love in the corners of the Gtruth
Bm7or am i just some Gcurious bystander
Bm7looking at the world through a child's Geyes
Bm7sunlight always Gshining on my shoulders
Bm7while the storm rages on deep Ginside, deep inside
[Chorus]
and it Dseems so hard to keep it all Ctogether
when the F#walls are falling down on every Gside
yeah, but Di'll be damned if i Cgive up on it easy
i've F#worked too hard to get the Gbarricades this high
[Verse]
now this Bm7world's a stage we're meant to Gplay on
Bm7direction from inside on what to Gdo
Bm7i know i should Ghave all of the answers
Bm7deep inside i haven't got a Gclue, got a clue
