DEAR GOD
F C Dm Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Bb F C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
F C Dm Am
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Bb F
Can't help but wish that I was there
C
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
F C Dm C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Bb F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C
when I'm much too far away
F C Dm C
We all need that person who can be true to you
Bb F
But I left her when I found her
C
And now I wish I'd stayed
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
Am Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
F
Once again
F C Dm Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
Bb F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
C
and all the shops are closed
F C Dm Am
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Bb F C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
F C Dm C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
Bb F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C
when I'm much too far away
F C Dm C
We all need that person who can be true to you
Bb F
I left her when I found her
C
And now I wish I'd stayed
Bb C
’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
Am Dm C Bb
I'm missing you again oh no
F
Once again
Dm Am Bb F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm Am Bb F
Before long, they waste away
Dm Am Bb F
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm Am Bb F
I gave in, to selfish ways
Gm C
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man
E5 A5 G5 D5
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
E5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
E5 G5 E5 G5
I trie-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
E5 G5 E5 G5
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
E5 F#5-G5-E5 F35 G5 B5
No oasis here to see,
B5 F5 A5-B5 G5-A5 G5 F#5 E5
the sand is singing deathless words to me.
Chorus:
E5 A5 G5 D5
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
D5 G5 F#5 E5
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
E5 A5 G5 D5
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
D5 G5 F#5 E5
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
E5 G5 E5 G5 E5 G5
As Ie-ie-ie adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights
E5 G5
will take me to new heights.
E5 G5 E5 G5
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
E5 G5 E5
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
E5 F#5-G5-E5 F#5-G5-B5 B5 F5 A5-B5 G5-A5 G5 F#5 E5
Mental fiction follows me; show me what it's like to be set free.

G A D F# G
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long
F# G
my vision's so unclear.
G A D F# G
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised
F# G
when things aren't what they seem.
E5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
E5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5 D5 A5 B5
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
E5 G5 E5
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
E5 G5 E5 G5
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
E5 G5 E5
don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
A5 G5 E5
I'll make a beast out of myself,
A5 G5 C5 B5 G5 B5 F#5 E5
gets rid of all the pain of being a maaaaaan

E5 F5 A5 B5 E5
E5 G5 E5 G5
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
E5 G5 E5 A5 G5 E5
so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
E5 G5 E5 G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5 G5 E5 G5 B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
E5 G5 A5 E5 G5 A5
I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
E5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
A5 B5
Arrived too early
E5 G5 B5
And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
E5 G5 B5 G5
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
(*)
G5 D5 E5 C5 G5
I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
D5 E5 C5 B5
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
E5 G5 E5 G5
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
E5 G5 E5 A5 G5 E5
Can leave this place but refrain,'cause we've been waiting for you
E5 G5 E5 G5
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
E5 G5 E5 G5 B5 A5 G5 E5
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
E5 G5 A5
This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
E5 G5 A5
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
E5 G5 A5 B5 A5 G5
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
A5 b5
I've made up my mind
E5 G5 B5
Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
E5 G5 B5 G5
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

G5 D5 E5
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
C5 G5 D5
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
E5 C5 B5
take me back inside when the time is right
E5 G5 E5 A5 E5 B5 E5 C5 2X E5
E5 C5 A5 E5
Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
C5 A5 E5
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
E5 C5 A5 E5
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(Who are you?; I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
E5 C5 A5 E5
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

Seize The Day
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Gm C F
These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past
Dm Gm F
I found you here, now please just stay for a while
C Dm
I can move on with you around
Gm F C
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
Dm Gm F C
I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ’til our time is done
Dm Gm F C
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm Gm F
Newborn life replacing life, replacing all of us,
C Dm
changing this fable we live in
Gm F C
No longer needed here so where should we go?
Dm Gm F
Will you take a journey tonight,
C Dm
follow me past the walls of death?
Gm F C
But girl, what if there is no eternal life?
(F5 F#5 Gm) C F
I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
Em Dm
But I’m too young to worry
Bbes
(a melody, a memory, or just one picture)
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,
C Bbes
don’t wanna die alone without you there
C F
Please tell me what we have is real
Chorus : C Dm Bbes
F C Dm Bbes (2x)
F C Dm Bbes
So, what if I never hold you, or kiss you lips again?
F C Bes
I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
I beg don’t leave me
Reff :
Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
C Bbes
It’s empty and cold without you here,
C Dm
too many people to ache over
Dm F G
Trails in life, questions of us existing here,
C Bbes
don’t wanna die alone without you there
C Dm
Please tell me what we have is real
Chorus : Gm F A Bbes (2x)
Gm F A Bbes
(Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
Gm F A Bbes
I stand here alone
Gm F Gm Bbes
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
NIGHTMARE
Intro : Dm Bb C
Dm
Dm,F,G
Dragged you down below down to the devil's show,
Dm,F,G
To be his guest forever,
Dm,F,G
Peace of mind is less than never
Dm,F,G
Hate to twist your mind,
Dm,F,G
but God ain't on your side
Dm,F,G
An old acquaintance severed,
Dm,F,G
Render of your last endeavor
Dm
Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head,
You're now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!
Chorus
Dm C
You should have known
F Bb
The price of evil,
Dm C F Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Dm
Dm,F,G
Can't wake up in sweat, cause it ain't over yet,
Dm,F,G
Still dancing with your demons,
Dm,F,G
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight,
Dm,F,G
Where all that's wrong is right
Dm,F,G
where hate don't need a reason
Dm,F,G
Love is self-assassination
Dm
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight,
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
Give in with your best intentions
Help ya with your complications
Chorus
Dm C
You should have known
F Bb
The price of evil,
Dm C F Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Dm
While your nightmare comes to life
Guitar solo
Dm C F Bb
Dm
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight, fight, not to fail, fail
Not to fall, fall
Or you'll end up like the others.
Die, die, die again, die
Drenched in sin, sin
Bb
With no respect for another
Dm
Ohhh !
Dm
Death, You!
Feel the fire, fire
Feel the hate, hate
Your pain is what we desire.
Lost, lost, hit the wall, wall
Watch you crawl, crawl
Bb
Such a replaceable liar.
C
And I know you hear their voices
(calling from above),
BB C
And I know they may seem real
(these signals of love),
Bb C
But a life's made up of choices
(some without appeal),
Bb B C
They took for granted your soul
Dm
And it's ours now to steal
Chorus
Dm C
You should have known
F Bb
The price of evil,
Dm C F Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Dm C F Bb
No one to call, everybody to fear,
Dm C F Bb A
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
