WhDat they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught

It's somF#metimes overwhelmin' and I can't tell ya why

F#m

[Intro]

A E A E

[Verse 1]

I know it's hard to find the words so often standin' face-to-face

F#m

Sometimes it takes a thin white sheet to put things into place

D E D E D

Things that I could never say come floodin' out somehow upon these lines

[Verse 2]

I'm still fightin' the same battles I've been fightin' all these years

F#m

Dream is not a dream unless you're livin' with a fear

What they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught

E D E D

And why?

[Verse 3]

And it's been a long time, Lord, since I sat down and had a cry

F#m

It's sometimes overwhelmin' and I can't tell ya why

But I remember Jackson singin' "Doctor, doctor, please,

E D E D

My eyes"

[Instrumental]

A F#m D E D E D

[Verse 4]

My heroes, they're all dyin' or they're sittin' in a cell

F#m

Due to years of medicatin', minds that hurt so well

There's a thin line, don't you see, between genius and insanity

E D E D

Which am I?

[Verse 5]

One thing that scares the hell in me is livin' with mortality

F#m

And worryin' that I'm insane talkin' to a God unseen

Must surely make me crazy, so crazy's what I'll be

E D E D

'Til I'm gone

[Instrumental]

A F#m D E D E D

[Verse 6]

And I'll scream out to the sun and to the moon and to the stars

F#m

I'll scream until my voice finds you, no matter where you are

I'll scream until I've got no breath and all that's left to take is death

E D E D

And I'm done

When I'm done

[Instrumental]

A F#m D E D E D

[Outro]

A F#m

Oh, oh-oh-oh

D E D E D

Oh, oh

A F#m

Oh, oh-oh-oh

D E D E D

Oh, oh

A F#m

Oh, oh-oh-oh

D E D E D

Oh, oh

A F#m

Oh, oh-oh-oh
