[Verse]
        F*              G*
I crawl out of my skin, looking at my pain self
       F*                  G*
But it seems I've fallen denial
    F*            G*
The truth I admit something that I long to find
       F*                G*   F*  G*  F*  G*
And it always comes in denial
    F*                    G*                          F*
The longest I've lived in section as the river passes through
                   G*
And margins way out half past tomorrow
And I will be Fhiding from the lie, Gmy head in magic
Take me aFway to another time, Glike a child the past is the way
[Chorus]
AmOh take me Cright back to a Fgrand world
AmOh take me Cright back to a Fgrand world
GLife is what you'd imagine, Fpowerless of descent
And I've lost myAmselGf, I lost myFself
[Verse]
    F*                         G*
The future is certain that the rain will provide us
       F*                              G*
With a new shade and force it's way out half past the silence
I will be Fhiding from the time, Git crashes in violence
They can see Fright and come to find, Gwhy the time has carried me away
[Chorus]
AmOh take me Cright back to a Fgrand world
AmOh take me Cright back to a Fgrand world
GLife is what you'd imagine, Fpowerless of descent
And I've lost myAmselGf, I lost myFself
(I lost myAmself)C  F  
          Oh take me right back to a grand world
(I lost myAmself)C  F  
          Oh take me right back to a grand world
So that Glife is what you'd imagine, Fpowerless of descent
And I've lost myAmselGf, Oh lost myFself
[Verse]
        F*              G*
I crawl out of my skin, looking at my pain self
       F*                        G*
But it seems I've fallen again denial
