You an I Ghave fought outside the door where there's a light
ThDat leaves me Aout in the cEmold all Galone
DoDn't leave me Aout in the Emcold all Galone
AAll we do is hide
EmTalk with stupid pride
GWhen we should unite
In a wAorld that makes demands
One of Aus should lend a hand
But we Adare not change
It's Emtime we stopped the pretendingG  
That we don't Dneed love to get bAy
I kEmnow yGou're feeling the same way
cos you can't Dlook me in the Geye
It's Emtime that we got togetheGr
And made Ait right
How can I exist when I hear them cry
How can I give hope where there's none inside
I just walk away from all the pain, to keep me sane,
cos I can't face this world all alone
I just can't face this world all alone
You could stake the fire
Watch these flames get higher
Burn this funeral pyre
And release me from the dead
And relieve my aching head
You could save my soul
How can I exist in a world that's strange
How can I exist in a world of change
I just can't go on
Don't feel so strong
And don't belong
Cos without you nothing stays the same
And without you nothing will remain
Night and nine to five
Konw you'll soon arrive
I still have the time
And I won't lose my desire
As the waves get higher and higher
You're my reason why

D A Em G

How can I exist in this sad old world

D A Em G

How can I exist here without your love

D A Em

You an I have fought outside the door where there's a light

D A Em G

That leaves me out in the cold all alone

D A Em G

Don't leave me out in the cold all alone

All we do is hide

Talk with stupid pride

When we should unite

In a world that makes demands

One of us should lend a hand

But we dare not change

Em G

It's time we stopped the pretending

D A

That we don't need love to get by

Em G

I know you're feeling the same way

D G

cos you can't look me in the eye

Em G

It's time that we got together

And made it right

How can I exist when I hear them cry

How can I give hope where there's none inside

I just walk away from all the pain, to keep me sane,

cos I can't face this world all alone

I just can't face this world all alone

You could stake the fire

Watch these flames get higher

Burn this funeral pyre

And release me from the dead

And relieve my aching head

You could save my soul

How can I exist in a world that's strange

How can I exist in a world of change

I just can't go on

Don't feel so strong

And don't belong

Cos without you nothing stays the same

And without you nothing will remain

Night and nine to five

Konw you'll soon arrive

I still have the time

And I won't lose my desire

As the waves get higher and higher

You're my reason why
