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