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