The Cmyears go by
Where we A#go
Alone F#augfrom here
GmNight falls, strange-colored walls
My Cmeyes deceive
What is A#wrong
With F#augme?
GmDeep in the night you think Cmeverything's Gmright
FTell it to yourself
Say it's just a nightmare
D#Something is telling you
Nothing can change where you F#augare, again
GmWhy should it matter, your Cmdreams of a Gmchild?
FInnocence is gone
Only fear to play with
D#Faces are changing
But nothing is changing the F#augpain
Too late
