[G]
[E]
[A] Sometimes
[G] I wonder who [A] am I?
[F#m] The world seeming to [G] pass me by
A younger man now [A] getting old
[E] I have [F#m] to wonder what the rest of [G] life will hold
I hold a mirror to my [A] face
[F#m] There are some lines that I [G] could trace
To memories of [A] loving you
[F#m] A passion that breaks reason [G] in two
I have to stop [A] and think now
[F#m] If reminiscences [F#] make you [G] frown
One thinks of what one hoped [A] to be
[F#m] And then faces [G] reality
I wonder who started [A] all this
[F#m] Was God in love and gave [G] a kiss to
Someone who later [A] betrayed
[F#m] And Godless love [C#] sent us [G] away
Sometimes I wonder who [A] am I?
[F#m] Who made the trees, who made [Bm] the [G] sky
Who made the storms, who [D] made [A] heartbreak
I [F#m]
wonder how much life I [G] can take
[A#]
I see [G] at last a future [A] self
[E] [F#m] Were you alive I'd ask [G] your help
But thinking, but thinking puts [A] me [F#m] in a daze
And thinking never helped me [G] anyway
You always were so [A] negative
You [E] [F#m] never saw the [G] positive
You always stand [A] upon the edge
[F#] [F#m] And dream of what it must be to [G] be dead
[A]
I know I like to [A] dream a lot
[F#m] And think of other worlds that are not
[G]
I hate that I need air to breathe
I'd like [F#m] to leave this body and [G] be free
You'd [D] like to float like a mystic
[A] child
[E] [F#m] You'd like to kiss an angel on [G] the brow
You'd love to solve the [E] mystery [A] of life
[E] By [F#m] cutting someone's throat [G] or removing their heart
You'd like to see it [A] beat
[Em] [F#m] You'd like to [G] hold your eyes
And though you know I'm dead
[F#m]
You'd like to hold my thighs
[Em]
If [G] it's wrong to [A] think on this
[Em] [F#m] To hold the dead past in your [G] fist
Why were we given [A] memories
Let's [E] [F#] lose [F#m] our minds and be set [G] free
Sometimes I wonder who [A] am I
[F#m] The world's seeming to pass [G] me by
A younger man now [A] getting old
I have [F#m] to wonder what the rest [G] of life will hold
I wonder, I wonder who started [A] all this
[F#m] Was God in love and gave [G] a kiss to someone
Who later [A] betrayed and [F#] godless love sent [G] us away
To someone who [A] later [Em] betrayed
[F#m]
[G] To someone
[A] godless [F#] love sent us [G] away
