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