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