Gm 
Sitting awake before the morning sun 
Bb/F 
Only ?cause I couldn?t fall asleep while the night was young 
Gm/Eb 
I?m restless, can?t call myself stressless 
Dsus4                                        D   
These past weeks have left me breathless and senseless 

Gm 
My brother from another mother lost a brother 
      Bb/F                                                                           Gm/Eb 
My father lost his father, I lost a friend, something that I couldn?t comprehend 
We?ll never see these men again 
Dsus4                   D 
Once upon a time life was so innocent 

Gm 
We?re past the past 
Bb/F 
The now is now 
       Gm/Eb 
The future will be here in a minute 
                 Dsus4                              D 
But I don?t care what?s going down 

           Gm 
Anyhow, I miss the time with the many smiles 
Bb/F 
When we could always stretch it for a little while 
Gm/Eb 
Now you?re gone and it feels like I?m alone 
Dsus4                         D 
Oh god dammit, how I miss you so 

Gm 
Sometimes it will feel time can stop 
Bb/F 
Sometimes I feel like giving up 
Eb 
But then I hear a voice inside of me 
              Dsus4                                D 
Saying: "Better die with your chin up, than living on your knees" 

Gm 
Daydreaming is OK sometimes 
Bb/F 
But to face the facts really hurts 
                        Gm/Eb 
And when you finally feel the weight of your burden 
       Dsus4                           D 
Get up again if you kiss the dirt 

                            Gm 
I?d rather live one day as a lion 
                                Bb/F 
Than live a hundred years as a sheep 
                            Gm/Eb 
I?d rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven 
                        Dsus4                 D 
Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep 

Gm 
The past is gone 
Bb/F 
The now is now 
Gm/Eb 
The future will be here in a minute 
                 Dsus4                            D          C     Bb   A 
But I don?t care what?s going down, what?s going down 

Gm 
People tell me: "Pick yourself up off the road" 
Bb/F 
Can?t I just stay and get squashed like a little toad? 
Gm/Eb 
They?ll say you have a burden to carry 
Dsus4                                D 
Somewhere along the line there?s a girl to marry 

Gm 
But don?t worry, I?ll get up 
           Bb/F 
I won?t give it up even if it won?t stop 
                      Gm/Eb 
Hurting in my heart now that we?re apart 
                          Dsus4                         D 
My chronic pain is about to start, will it be hard? 

                            Gm 
I?d rather live one day as a lion 
                                 Bb/F 
Than live a hundred years as a sheep 
                           Gm/Eb 
I?d rather reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven 
                        Dsus4                 D 
Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep 

Gm 
The past is gone 
Bb/F 
The now is now  
       Gm/Eb 
The future will be here in a minute 
                 Dsus4                           D 
But I don?t care what?s going down 

                      Gm 
?Cause we?re past the past 
Bb/F 
The now is now 
       Gm/Eb 
The future will be here in a minute 
                 Dsus4                            D 
But I don?t care what?s going down 
      Gm 
Anyhow
