_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Why did you steal the matches from the one-room hotel?
Once they gave you answers, now they give you hell
They will never understand, they wonder where did they go wrong
Or could you be so selfish, why can't you get along?
And as you [F#] pray in your [E] darkness _
_ For wings to set [A] you free
[F#] You are bound to your [A] silent _ [E] legacy _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

For wings to [A] set you free

The [B] empty aching hour, _ trying to conceal
[E] The natural progression is the coming of your age

And as [F#m] you pray in [A] your darkness
_ _ [E] _ _ For wings to set you free

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _

To satisfy the hunger, to satiate the need
And they [E] feed you of the guilt to keep you humble, keep you low
[B] Some night _ and a thousand years [A] ago and as [F#m] you pray
[F#] In your [A] darkness, [E] for wings to [A] set you free
