[Verse 1]
Ebsus2
Under the sun, there is nothing to hide
Gbsus2
Under the moon, the stranger waits inside
Ebsus2
People disappear, the music fades away
Dbsus2 Cbsus2
Splashing through the rain, I'll dream with them one day
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m F# C#
It's raining, raining, on the streets of New York City
G#m F# E
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven
[Chorus]
G#m7 G#m6
I may have wasted all those years
G#m G#5
They're not worth their time in tears
C#7sus C#7 C#7sus
I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears
[Verse 2]

Take a look at yourself, not at anyone else

[Chorus]
G#m7 G#m6
I may have wasted all those years
G#m7 G#5
They're not worth their time in tears
C#7sus C#7 C#7sus
I may have spent too long in darkness, in the warmth of my fears
G#m7 G#m6
As I walk through all my myths
G#m7 G#5
Rising and sinking like the waves
C#7sus C#7
With my thoughts wrapped around me
C#7sus
Through a trial of tears

Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car
A5 E5 F#5
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up
F#5 E5 C#5 B5 Bsus2
Not much better than the man you hate
C#sus2 Esus2

[Verse 1]
G#m F# C#
Still awake, I continue to move along
G#m F# C#
Cultivating my own nonsense
G#m F# C#
Welcome to the wasteland, where you'll find
G#m F# C#
Ashes, nothing but ashes
[Verse 2]
G#m F# C#
Still awake, bringing change, bringing movement, bringing life
G#m F# C#
A silent prayer, thrown away, disappearing in the air
G#m F# C#
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
G#m F# C#
Nowhere to turn, I look for a way back
G#m F# C#
Home
