[C#] [C#m] I [B] used to call when I was small, I would spend my [E] days [D] alone
Because [C#] love was not for me, [D] so I had to count my own gain
I was [C#] trying to die small, and couldn't find a hand
[C#] Oh, [D] but I could dance
[C#m] [A] I used to be lazy then, and stayed in the [E] old lane
[A] Made a vow to work and work, off the [D] floor of that lane
I can't [C#m] remember that one

[C#] There's a river, [F#] and a wall, and a key, and a chance to do the [A] most
[D] Before the fall, [A] when they broke it on the wall
When there wasn't even [F#m] any kind of hope
