A Asus2Asus4
      (x2)
[Verse 1]
           A
This is a story
               D
Of failure and glory
         A
Based in town
                      D
In the south in the 1980s
                 A
Where should I begin?
                              D
Please come in where were you lately?
                A
He said with a smile
                       D
"In a while it's an illusion"
[Chorus]
C#m            D
It's all an illusion
C#m             D
This is my conclusion

For now
C#m            D
It's all an illusion
C#m            D
This is my conclusion

[Verse 2]
               A
I remember the crowd
                          D
They were loud and it was something
                 A
When you took control
                       D
Of my soul then it was nothing
[Chorus]
C#m            D
It's all an illusion
C#m            D
This is my conclusion
    A
For now

It's all an illusion

This is my conclusion

This is my conclusion
