My life
                                         E
Charred remains of a flame that's burned out
                                   D
My lips move but they won't make a sound
                             C#
I stand motionless, eyes to the ground
             F#
Back for more
                      E
With reopened scars i remain
                                D
Battered savagely, knees start to shake
                                C#
I just stand there, I take it, I wait
(chorus)
C# struming    (pause)  D     E  
I'm just waiting for time to erase
E       F#   G#   A  D   
And the world to change
           E                         F#
Until then I will strive for nothing more
                      D        E
I'll just wait for my heart to break
    F#    G#  A D        E   F#        E   D   C#
And arise from ash, reborn   reborn
 *String melody on dstring*
F#
Look at me
                           E
Cut my eye and allow me to see
                              D
What my life has become on my knees
                                  [C# build up]
oh I hear the screams, I watch myself bleed

But ? can't feel a thing
         F#
What am I
                          E
But a victim unwilling to rise
                                D
Wretched shell of a man and his pride
                                     C#
Why stop living, I'm just waiting to die (back to chorus)
