EmCome to decide that the Cthings that I tried
Were Gin my life just Dto get high on.
EmWhen I sit alone, Ccome, get a little known,
GBut I need more than myDself this time.
EmStep from the road to the Csea to the sky,
And I Gdo believe that Dwe rely on.
EmWhen I lay it on, Ccome, get to play it on, Gall my life to saDcrifice.

GDeep beneath the cover of aDnother perfect wonder,
Where it’s Amso white as snow.
GPrivately divided by a Dworld so undecided,
And there’s Amnowhere to go.
GIn between the cover of aDnother perfect wonder,
Where it’s Amso white as snow.
GRunning through the field where all my Dtracks will be concealed,
And there’s Amnowhere to go.

And I Gdo believe what Dwe rely on.
EmWhen I lay it on, Ccome, get to play it on, Gall my life to Dsacrifice.
