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