#############################please note##################################
this is my own interpretation of the song .

verse 1 : x’s 2

D E – 7th A
if they can make a law , then i can break a law ,
D
if they can make a law , will the law break me ,
D E – 7th A
it comes tumbling down again i can’t comprehend ,
D E – 7th
is it destiny . a nomadic state , are you a refugee ,
A D
no place to call your home , forever walk alone ,
E – 7th A
as the world goes on , forgotten by the ones you know .

* repeat 1st verse *

D E – 7th
your lookin’ out for me , so wrap your arms around me ,
