[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] And here in the night, as I feel the [Db] inferno, I stare at the dark, thinking what is eternal?
[Gb] The man or the [Ebm] moment, the act or the reason?
[Bb] These thoughts fill my head as [F] I contemplate treason.
[Bbm] Of dreams I have had, and dreams I have pondered [Db] when late in the night.
My mind, it would wander [Gb] to things I have done,
[Ebm] and then quickly regret it [Bb] while denying vices [F] my life had selected.
[Bbm] And I think what I have done, or have yet to begin.
[Ab] And the man I've [Db] become, and the man that I've been,
[Gb] now caught in a [Ebm] waltz, the eternal [F] dancer.
I'm caught in it by death, but death isn't the [Bb] answer, I say.
_ [Ebm] _ _
[Bb] All I was [Ebm] _ meant to [Bb] _ be.
[Ebm] Could I [Bb] suddenly just [Cm] decide not a thought would [Db] survive?
Could it be my [Eb] life's worth ended [F] there with my birth? _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] I could see someone who's been there before [Db] me,
and traded his soul for a moment of [Gb] glory, his head.
So mercy [Ebm] my spirit's debated, [Bb] while judged on a scale [F] that's been heavily weighted.
[Bbm] And what have I done?
Could there be such a sin?
[Ab] In this man I've [Db] become, in this man that I've been,
[Gb] now call to [Ebm] God, for the misery for them.
[F] I pray he forgives every sin I've forgotten [Bbm] this day. _

_ [Bb] _ [C] _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] who would have thought that my fate it would conjure,
[Db] this twist in the road on which I have wandered.
[Gb] Each vision and dream now [Ebm] completely dismembered,
[F] to give one's whole life and find nothing's remembered.
[Bbm] And what worth a life that leaves nothing behind,
[Ab] not a thought or a dream that might echo in time.
[Gb] The years and the hours, [Ebm] the seconds and minutes,
[F] and everything that my life has placed in it,
[Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
[Ab] _ betrayed.
Betrayed.
[Gb] _
_ _ [Ebm] _ Betrayed.
[F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] The things I have done, [Ebm] the places I've been,
[Bb] the cost of my dreams, [Gb] the weight [Ab] of my sins,
[Bb] and everything that [Ebm] I've gathered in life.
[Bb] Could it be lost?
[Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] Could it [Ab] be lost in this?
_ _ [Bbm] Lost. _
