[Intro]
 E5  D5  C5  A5 

[Verse 1]
Em                  Dsus2
A change of speed, a change of style,
C                  Asus2
A change of scene, with no regrets,
Em                Dsus2
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
C                Asus2
Still occupied, though you forget.
Em                               Dsus2
Different colours, different shades,
                        C               Asus2
Over each mistakes were made. I took the blame.

Em                        Dsus2
Directionless so plain to see,
                            C       Asus2
A loaded gun won't set you free. So you say.

[Interlude]
 E5  D5  C5  A5 

[Verse 2]
Em                              Dsus2
We'll share a drink and step outside,
                           C            Asus2
An angry voice and one who cried,
Em                             Dsus2
"We'll give you everything and more,
                                        C      Asus2
The strain's too much, can't take much more."
Em                                    Dsus2
Oh I've walked on water, run through fire,
                          C           Asus2
Can't seem to feel it anymore.

       Em     Dsus2
It was me_________,
             C                   Asus2
waiting for me___, hoping for something more,
Em      Dsus2
Me__________,
             C                       Asus2
seeing me this time, hoping for something else.
