G C G C

G                       C
you were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track
    Am                              C           D
and though you say there is no need i intend to pay you back

G                                  C
when my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black
Am                           C           D
you shined a light on me and i intend to pay you back

       C               G
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams
    C                        G
and i hate to say it but the way it seems
        C  D      G         C
is that no one is fine
         D       G
take the time to peel a few layers
    Em
and you will find
C  D G
true sadness

G                      C
when i was a child i depended on a bottle
    Am                            C         D
and full grown i've been known to lean on a bottle

    G                         C
but you're the real deal in a world of imposters
    Am                         C          D
and i've seen the program make men out of monsters

       C               G
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams
    C                        G
and i hate to say it but the way it seems
        C  D      G         C
is that no one is fine
         D       G

C               G
angela became a target
   D                      G
as soon as her beauty was seen
   C                      G
by young men who try to reduce her down
     Em                  D7
to a scene on an x-rated screen
           C                          G
is she not more than the curve of her hips
           C                          G
is she not more than the shine on her lips
             Bm                   Em                          Am
does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path
              D7
without being torn apart
                    C
does she not have a heart

  G                      C
i cannot go on with this evil inside me
  Am                           C          D
i step out my front door and i feel it surround me

     G                   C
just know the kingdom of god is within you
Am                        C           D
even though the battle is bound to continue

       C               G
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams
    C                        G
and i hate to say it but the way it seems
        C  D      G         C
is that no one is fine
         D       G
take the time to peel a few layers
    C
and you will find
