Capo: 6th fret
[Verse 1]
AmNew blood joins this eEmarth  and qDuickly he's sub-Amdued.
Through constant pain disEmgrace, the Dyoung boy learns their Amrules.
With time the child draws Emin this wDhipping boy done wAmrong.
Deprived of all his tEmhoughts, the Dyoung man struggles Amon and  on.
He knows, a  vCow unto  his oGwn that nCever from this dAmay
 his wCill they'll take a - Gway.E  
[Chorus]
WAmhat I've fCelt, what I've kGnown never sEhined through in what I've sAmhown.
NAmever Cbe. Never sGee. Won't sEee what might have bAmeen.
WAmhat I've fCelt, what I've kGnown,never sEhined through in what I've sAmhown.
NAmever fCree. Never Gme. So I Edub the unforAmgiven.

Throughout the life the sEmame, he's bDattled constanAmtly
This fight he cannot wEmin. A tDired man they sAmee no longer cares.
The oCld man then pGrepares to dCie regretfulAmly
That oCld man here is Gme.E
