[Verse]
Ab A# Cm
divided we fall into the darkness
Ab A# Cm
lying feeling hot and cold and staring at the stars
[Chorus]
Ab A# Cm
tell me, am i who you thought i’d be when i was singing sweetly
Ab A# Cm
am i who you wished i was
Ab A# Cm
am i the warrior with leather belt and swords and armour
Ab A# Cm
i will fight your battles i will fall at your feet
[Verse]
Ab A# Cm
she’s dusty and feels taken for granted
Ab A# Cm
she’s taking no advice except her own
[Chorus]
Ab A# Cm
tell me,are you still a man when you’re sleeping?
Ab A# Cm
do you ever feel the cold?
Ab A# Cm Ab
and do you lie away and think about the things you cant control?
A# Cm
are you simply getting old?
[Verse]
Ab A# Cm
he’s scared of pushing her to hunger.
Ab A# Cm
scared of saying something wrong.
[Chorus]
Ab A# Cm
tell me, am i ever gonna turn it off?
Ab A# Cm
am i ever going to breath?
Ab A# Cm Ab
will i ever give this man a chance to see that i am scared,
A# Cm
and i am much more scared than him.
