xam F C G
i’ve got voices in my head and they are so strong
Am F C G

Am F C G
will i be haunted by the fear that i believe
Am F C
my hands like locks on cages
G Am
of these dreams i can’t set free

F C G
but if i let these dreams die
Am F C G
if i lay down all my wounded pride
Am F C G
if i let these dreams die
Am F C G
will i find that letting go lets me come alive

Am F C G Am
my heart’s in constant chaos and it keeps me so deceived

a slave to what it wants and to what i’m fighting for

chorus
