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