Em   D   Am   Emx2
Em  Dsus2/A  
If I could only stand and stare in the mirror could I see
Am  Dsus2/ A  Em  
One fallen hero with a face like me?

And if I scream, could anybody hear me?

If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me

Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
C/G  Dsus2/ A  Em  
I'll never know if love's a lie
C/G  Dsus2/ A  Em  
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
C/G  Dsus2/ A  Em  
Do you see the prisoners in my eyes?
Em  Dsus2/A  
Where's the love to shelter me

Give me love, come set me free

Only love, love set me free
