   [Intro]

D     A     D      A     D    A
D     F#m

D     A     D      F#m
D     A     Asus4  A

   [Verse 1]
   Bm      A        D   A
It went so well for you
       F#m                   E
With a place right where you wanted
        D               E
And the ones to fill it to
    Bm         A         D    A
But some blows break the spell
        F#m            E
That it hits you every day
          D              E     F#m  D   F#m    D
Until you need to hit as well


   [Chorus]
            F#m               Esus4 E    A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the man you should be
       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see
    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled
       F#m        D     F#m  D  F#m   D
And it feels like hell

   [Verse 2]
   Bm         A        D   A
It all seemed fine for you
         F#m         E
Till the struggle of ambition
          D                E
Turned in violence upon you
Bm          A         D     A
Sometimes a landslide comes
          F#m            E
If you're hiding in that avalanche
    D               E    F#m   D    F#m    D
You need a place to run


   [Chorus]
            F#m                 Esus4 E    A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the woman you should be
       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see
    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled
       F#m        D     F#m   D
And it feels like hell


   [Instrumental]
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D


   [Bridge]
D                  Bm       E           F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done
D               Bm         E    F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D                    Bm    E       F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D                      Bm    E
And there's never been a hand


   [Verse 3]
       Bm   A       D    A
Did we ever have it good
         F#m        E
While we lived in Eldorado
       D                E
Did we find the gold we should
      Bm     A       D    A
If it really was the truth
        F#m               E
Why are faces filled with anger
            D          E           F#m    D   F#m    D
That should only shine with youth


   [Chorus]
            F#m                Esus4 E      A   Esus4  E
It's just a shadow of the people we  should be
       F#m           Esus4
Like a garden in the forest
E        A                    Esus4 E
That the world will never see
    F#m                Esus4
You have no thought of answers
E    A                      Esus4  E
Only questions to be filled
       F#m        D
And it feels like hell


   [Instrumental]
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D
Bm   E    F#m   D


   [Bridge]
D                  Bm   E          F#m
I know there is no need for what's been done
D               Bm     E        F#m
I know there is enough for everyone
D                  Bm      E       F#m
Frustration brings a heavy hand to bear
D                    Bm   E            F#m
And there never is a hand outside that cares

D                       Bm        E       F#m
Still the promise comes of living fit for all
D                  Bm   E           F#m
If we only get our back against the wall
D                    Bm     E            F#m
I look at backs that pushed the wall for years
D                      Bm      E    F#m
Scarred by many knives and too much fear


   [Outro]
Bm   E    F#m   D          x12
