[F#] [C#] [A] [Bm]
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] [D] [Bm]
[F#m] [D] Like a [C#m] rock and [F#] roll gone again
[D] Driven by passion, [F#m] I'm hurt
[D] Away from [E] family and [F#] [A] friends
What they can't see is [F#m] that every day I'm drowning
[D] [E] Drowning in a [F#] sea
[D] Faces that [E] I miss [F#m] so desperately
[D] With [E] each flash and [F#] [A] calmness
A torrent of emotion, [A] joy, and memories
The people I've grown to love so deeply throughout the years
I've chosen a big family and the weight of their absences brought me more than once to tears
[C#m] I [B] wake to sleep [A] violently only to witness those lives and faces disappear slowly behind me
Again I pull back into deep waters, washed further away from my sisters and brothers
Am I truly living a dream when the only time I spend with you is in my sleep?
I [D] cut my [Bm] knife in the cross
[F#m] And threw a main [D] bow
When I was a [Bm] child of [F#] school
Am I truly living [D] [Bm]
[F#m] a dream when [D] the only time I [Bm] spend with you [F#] is in my sleep?
[D] With every [F#m] ablution [D] I wish it could last an [F#m] eternity
So [D] I hid my grave for [F#m] the courage to say [D] I've missed you
[F#m] I've seen you in [A] my sleep
We were laughing, crying, joking, you [D] know, the way it used to be
[A] Back when we were younger and all that much more free
I just hope you see that nothing's changed between you and me
No matter the time we spent apart
I know it's not always [F#m] easy to show it
But please believe [D] that I carried you in my heart
That you were with me through every [A] mile
I could have sworn I [F#m] saw your phantom standing in the [D] aisle
It seems you already know what I'm thinking
And that even after [A] all this time
Some things [F#m] still do go without saying
[A] We savored the taste of our sweet youth
And now with calloused hands gather the [F#m] remaining fruit
To go any farther we must [A] endure further pains
[F#m] To
[D] spread the [F#] light [F#m] of love
To reject the blind goddess
Just you and I
[F#] [C]
