[Intro]
DAmCEm
    x2
[Verse 1]
D        Am          C                       Em
Why do I have to fly over every town up and down the line?
D               Am               C                   Em
I'll die on the clouds above and you that I defend I do not love
[Chorus 1]
   F                   Dm                  G
I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side
               Em                  F
I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting
Dm                          G      G7
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
[Verse 2]
D            Am            C                        Em
When will I meet my fate? Baby, I'm a man and I was born to hate
D           Am            C                          Em
When will I meet my end?  In a better time you could be my friend
[Chorus 2]
   F                   Dm                  G
I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side
               Em                  F
I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting
Dm                          G
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
                 Em                F
Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side
                      Dm                     G
But you're long gone, yes, you're long gone now
Em     F
Yeah....
[Bridge]
Dm          G
Where do we go?
  Em         F
I don't even know
D7                G
My strange old face
              Em             Dm   G
And I'm thinking about those days
                              F
And I'm thinking about those days
