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