VERSE 
B          A      D 
I saw myself today, 

B             A       D  
Ten years in the future, 

G                        D 
I didn't even know my face, 

B                 A      D 
I couldn't give an answer, 


G 
For the waning years, 

A 
That slipped away, 

G                 A 
Lost in a dream, no, 



Chorus 
B                          A                   D  
I don't wanna wake up screaming, when it's too late, 

B                             A                 D 
Searching for some long lost meaning, I gave away, 

B                 A           D  
I don't wanna wake up screaming, 

              A    G  
So don't let me fall, 


Fall asleep on you, 


VERSE 

I break down in the chapel 
When only stain glass saints can hear 
The prayers I seldom offer, 

Through cold and heavy tears 
My innocence, 
Can I return to it,  
Now that it's gone, 


Chorus 



BRIDGE 
G                    A         B 
To the questions I been asking, 

               A      D 
That keep me up at 3am, 


The love I'm running after, 

G 
Is it blessed or is it damned? 

G                  A    B  
The man that I've become, 

                  A    D  
Who is he without love? 

G 
Who am I without you? 


Who am I now?
