Life is not a compromise
Though it often turns to this
Unintended suicide
As if our fate's sealed with a kiss


Pre-Chorus

------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------|
--4------7------4------5-----7------------|
--4------7------4------5-----7------------|

------------------------------------------|

We're all taught to rise above
Can't let ourselves be hurt by love

Chorus:  Back to high distortion for the chorus (the switch sounds like just changing
the pick up selector on the guitar for one with the volume down and one high)

Dreams are only of a new world
Instead of making this one right
But "run away" is not the answer
Still we all want to take flight
