     [This bar three times]

                                     D    C   D
Spread out your wings, let's see you fly
                             D     C   A
What does it take to get you high?
                         G    F   G
Not something money ever buys
D                           D    C   D
Damage control is bought to bear
                           D    C   A
With cracks appearing everywhere
                            G    F   G
You're too far gone to even care

D           C    G
You're in a mind set,
D               C     G
You've got your wires crossed
D              C     G       F     C   D
Are even these words lost on you? (oh, yeah)

One of these days I hope you learn
how candles are supposed to burn
You act as if that's no concern (of yours)

You've taken a wrong turn,
You're stuck in a tailspin
                                          G
What good has your life been to you? (oh, yeah)

G                            C   F
How can you shake your head (oh, yeah)
But when you wake up dead
C              F   C
Will that do you?
                         G
Could that cure you? (oh yeah)
                           C   F
And all your friends say, (oh, yeah)
"It had to end this way"
C                   F   C
You couldn't face it,
                  E
Was all wasted on you
Nothing they could do

There has to be a better way
to make believe that you're o.k.
You're not the first to be afraid
there is no shame, (aren't you afraid?)
