[Verso 1]
 
Cm 
    Every day a surprise 
                     Gm 
Every time a distraction 
Ab 
    All the while I do try 
                   Bb 
To hold my hope inside 
                       Cm 
But my day's growing short 
                        Gm 
And my mind growing weaker 
Ab 
    I don't recognize myself 
                       Bb 
When I look in the mirror 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
    Cm 
My words are not my words 

When they spill out of my mouth 

And my world is not my world 
                         Gm 
I trip and fall to the ground 
        Ab 
All my wants and my dreams 

And everything I'd ever seek 

Could they ever leave me 
              Bb 
Do I still believe 
 Cm 
Lately I've been thinking 

About what will arrive 

What will die when I try 
                      Gm 
And stop hiding in a lie 
            Ab 
How hard I held hope 

Even when my dreams would expire 

I'm not feeling any younger

 Cm7              Ab7M 
Time flies by and I 
       Cm7            Ab7M 
Can't find my way in life 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Cm 
    I'm stuck in-between now and my past 
                          Gm 
Things seem to be moving too fast 
Ab 
    My mind seems to unravel next 
                          Bb 
And I can't see what else is left 
Cm 
    This voice isn't mine, it's way out of line 
                         Gm 
Feels like I'm lying to myself 
Ab 
    When thoughts and the words escaping me 
                         Bb 
Are not reflections of who I see 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
Cm 
   A stranger to the world 

A world of things I don't know 

I am out of my own 
                              Gm 
Bearing cold heart and soul, left all alone 
Ab 
    So lost in the dark 

Still out of control 
               Bb 
I am far from my home 
Cm 
    I'm afraid of what comes after the day 

Into the night 

Of who I'll become in the confines 
                Gm       Ab 
Of the greatest insecurities I hide 

Behind my own mask 

Pretending something's there 

When a void is all I feel 

Where has the light of hope gone 

(It's too late for us to be young)

Time flies by and I 
       Cm7            Ab7M 
Can't find my way in life 
Cm7             Ab7M 
I just need to fight 
    Cm7          Ab7M 
To find myself again
