D F#m Bm F#m
No sleep No sleep until I´m done with finding the answer
D F#m Bm F#m
Wont stop wont stop before I find a cure for this cancer
D F#m Bm F#m
Sometimes I feel like I am down so and disconnected
D F#m Bm F#m
Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted
D F#m Bm
I´ve been watching I´ve been waiting in the shadows
F#m
For my time
D F#m Bm
I´ve been searching I´ve been living for tomorrows
F#m
All my life
(that are the same chords )
They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel save
But I I rather kill myself than turn into their slave
Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow I just dont wanna stay and wait for a wonder
I´ve been watching I´ve been waiting in the shadows
For my time
I´ve been searching I´ve been living for tomorrows
All my life
Baby,I´ve been walking walking in circles
Watching,waiting for something
Heal me,touch me,feel me come take me higher
I´ve been watching I´ve been waiting in the shadows
For my time
I´ve been searching I´ve been living for tomorrows
All my life

E5
Feel the heat below my feet

I have to go, no time to sleep

Can't believe the things you say
A5
I turn my head and walk away

You make me sick, you make me nervous

Verse 2:
All you do, you can't deny it,
It's waste of time, waste of time
Can i suggest that you invest
In something more than hopelessness
Before you know, the ride is over
Chorus
E
It's up to you if you give it up
Am
It's up to you if you won't stop x2
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up,
It's up to you, it's up to you
The record shows that you're dead but you're still living
Every time you have died you have been given
Another chance to fix your bad attitude
And make a move, it's up to you
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up x3
it's up to you x2

E5
No more blame I am destined to keep you sane
C5
Gotta rescue the flame
E5
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl
C5 G5 D5
I should have seen it would be this way
C5 B5 E5
I should have known from the start what she's up to
C5 G5 D5
When you have loved and you've lost someone
C5 B5 E5
You know what it feels like to lose
E5
She's fading away
C5
Away from this world
D5
Drifting like a feather
G5 B5
She's not like the other girls
E5
She lives in the clouds
C5
and talks to the birds
D5
Hopeless little one
G5 B5
She's not like the other girls I know
No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will retun to you
I should
have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone close to you
You know what it feels like to lose

Haven't slept in a week my bed has become my coffin
Dm C Am
Cannot breath cannot speak my head's like a bomb still waiting

Take my heart and take my soul
A
I don't need them anymore
Refrain :
Dm
The one i love

9.BACK IN THE PICTURE
##############################################################
A E F#m
There were times in my life I was down on my knees, now it's over
Bm A E
Deep inside my heart I know
A E F#m
Simply put I've been stabbed in the back ever since I remember
Bm A
And deep inside it hurt to let go
F#m E F#m E D
I'm back in the picture, back in the picture
A F7 D
I wonder what took so long, so long
F#m E F#m E D
I'm back in the picture, back in the picture
A F D
I wonder what took so long, so long
Dedicate everything I create
To my friends I would die for
But you will always be the one
Memories that you can't overrun, memories I could cry for
I thought I'd always be on the run

Ab5 G5
I dumped you again
Db5 C5
I don't understand
Ab5 G5
It's happened before
Db5 C5
Can't take it no more
Ab5 D5
These foolish games
Db5 C5
Always end up in confusion
Ab5 D5
I'll take you back
G5
Just to leave you once again
C5 Ab5
I died in my dreams
Eb5
What's that supposed to mean?
Bb5
Got lost in the fire
C5 Ab5
I died in my dreams
Eb5
Reaching out for your hand
Bb5
My fatal desire
I've failed you again
Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt okay
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
