F                        G
I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
F           G
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
F
but oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
G
lost all faith in the things I have achieved

and I
[chorus]
F               G#
I've woken now to find myself
C              Eb
in the shadows of all I have created
F                  G#
I'm longing to be lost in you
C
(away from this place I have made)
Eb
won't you take me away from me
F          G
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
F             G 

I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
F
I can't go on like this
G
I loathe all I've become
[Chorus]
F                                C
Lost in a dying world i reach for something more
F                               C
I have grown so weary of this lie I live
[Chorus] 

Intro = (D5 B#5)x2

D5      B#5   D5   B#5
Perfect by nature
D5   B#5     Bb5 G5 B#5
icons of self-indulgence
D5     B#5    D5     B#5
Just what we all need
D5   B#5     Bb5 G5 B#5     D5
More lies about a world that

D5       B#5
Never was and never will be
D5       B#5
Have you no shame, don't you see me?
Bb5               G5      B#5     D5
You know you've got everybody fooled.

D5     B#5    D5    B#5
Look here she comes now -
D5     B#5      Bb5 G5 B#5
Bow down and stare in wonder.
D5     B#5    D5    B#5
Oh, how we love you
D5     B#5      Bb5 G5 B#5   D5
Too bad we didn't know she -

D5       B#5
Never was and never will be
D5       B#5
You don't know how you betrayed me
Bb5                G5        B#5     D5
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

No Chords =

Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself,
Lost in your lies

D5            B#5
I know the truth now
D5       G5
I know who you are
Bb5          G5         B#5     D5
And I don't love you anymore

D5       B#5
Never was and never will be
D5       B#5
You don't know how you betrayed me
Bb5                G5        B#5     D5
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

D5       B#5
Never was and never will be
D5       B#5
Not for real that you can save me
Bb5                G5        B#5     D5
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

G              Bm
I'm so tired of being here
G              Bm
Suppressed by all my childish fears
G
And if you have to leave
Bm
I wish that you would just leave
G
'Cause your presence still lingers here
Bm
And it won't leave me alone


Em                          Bm
These wounds won't seem to heal
Em                   Bm
This pain is just too real
Em                         Bm              D
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[CHORUS:]
Em          C        D         Bm
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
Em          C        D         Bm
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
Em          C        D         Bm
I held your hand through all of these years
Em          C
But you still have
D        G  Bm  G  Bm
All of me

G               Bm
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

C           Em            D                C
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
Em                 Bm
But though you're still with me
C          D          Em   C  D  Bm
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]
