Rift 1:
Em Am
Bills are stacking, money's lacking, I'm poor
C7 B Em
I can't take it anymore; I can't see an end to this
Em Am
Pills and mornings, my baby's slamming the door,
C7 B Em
She can't take it anymore; she is leaving with the kids
Rift 2:
Am Em B Em
I used to have ideas and brainstorm, my head above the water
Am Em B
But now it just appears that, the rainstorm has overdrawn the river

Rift 1
Optimism, the credit prison, has floored
I'm going overboard, the chances that I've missed
Rift 2
I used to have ideas not brain storms, my head above the water
But now it just appears that, the rainstorms have overgrown the river
Chorus
Em C G D
Fame is such a lonely game, forsaken when it's gone
Em C G B
When it's on, it can't last much longer
Em C G D
Pain is for the wiser man, I'm noteless when you're gone
Em C G B
When you're gone I can't be much stronger
Rift 1
An artificial flame, has lit some warmth in me
Now that you know my name and my melody
Rift 2
Glory, notoriety, as powerful as they may be
Won't take away my reason or my sanity
Chorus X2-3
Fame is such a lonely game, forsaken when it's gone
When it's on, it can't last much longer
Pain is for the wiser man, I'm noteless when you're gone
When you're gone I can't be much stronger
Rift 1
Aggravating, a fameless craving has grown
And now that I am strong
I'm scaring you away
