B       Em                 F#
  And I will never see the truth
                 G              B   Em   F#   G   B
This is not a matter of my youth
         Em           F#
I do not need anybody else
            G                B    Em   F#   G   B
Bonds would put my mind into cells


[Verse 2]
          Em
And I will never know I was wrong
                G           B
Never listen to those truly strong
         Em
I do not fear anything that's not me
          G               B
Ignorance is the ultimate key


[Verse 3]
         Em
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
           G              B
But change myself? Never, never!
             Em
The very thought sends shivers down my spine
         G                              B
I'm sure everything, everything will be fine


[Chorus 1]
         Em
I am the one who cries out at night
                G               B
For somebody to change my weary core
         Em
Not sure why I live in endless fright
          G                        B
Doomed to love only myself for evermore


[Chorus 2]
         Em
I am the one who has no real friends
        G                     B
Shallow people flocking to my banner
       Em
Always trying to make easy amends
              G               B      Em   G   B
Cherishing my own overbearing manner


[Bridge 1]
                 Em
Life - always fragile
Em
I will never change
              G
Love - always fleeting
                B
I will never change


[Bridge 1]
                 Em
Life - always fragile
Em
I will never change
              G
Love - always fleeting
                B
I will never change


[Verse 4]
      Em
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
        G                 B
Maybe I really was too clever
      Em
But I wouldn't want to end like that
            G                     B
I would die lonely and incredibly sad


[Verse 5]
Dm             G
  I will never drag myself out of this
                  Bb                Dm
The shadows of my past bogging me down
             G
Feeling lost in turmoil and crisis
                Bb                Dm
My face forever set in an endless frown


[Verse 6]
                 G
I have been hurt beyond mental repair
                   Bb                Dm
Thence destined to suffer eternal damnation
       G
No one can be there for me to care
              Bb                   Dm   G   Bb   Dm
But without I will never find salvation


[Bridge 2]
              G
Lust - always empty
G
But I will never change
               Bb
Death - always tempting
                 Dm
But I will never change


[Bridge 2]
              G
Lust - always empty
G
But I will never change
               Bb
Death - always tempting
                 Dm     G     Bb   Dm   G     Bb   Dm   G     Bb   Dm
But I will never change


[Verse 7]
           G
Everything is about control
                 Bb             Dm
I must never slip, nor ever fall
            G        Bb
Anything is possible for me
                                Dm
I must never doubt, and finally be free


[Outro]
B   Em  F#  G                    B   Em  F#  G
              And finally be free
