the next few lines are played over the above chords:
Will I be alone this morning?
Will I need my (friends?)?
Something just to ease away my pain.
No-one ever sees the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my fame
then pick through the following chords a few times:
||: Dm | C | Gm | Dm :||
Dm
If I could only stand,
C
and stare in the mirror would I see
Gm C Dm
One fallen hero with a face like me
Dm C
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
Gm C Dm
If I smash the silence you'll see what fame has done to me
Bb C Dm
Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
Bb C Dm
I'll never know if loves a lie.. being..
Bb C Dm
crazy in paradise is easy
Bb C Bb Gm
do you see the prisoners in my eye
Dm C \
where's the love.. to shelter me | X 2
Bb C |
give me love... come set me free /
then the solo..
