Intro: Em D/F# G C
Em D/F# G
Send away for a priceless gift
C
One not subtle, one not on the list
Em D/F# G
Send away for a perfect world
C
One not simply, so absurd
Em D/F# G
In these times of doing what you're told
C
You keep these feelings, no one knows
Am Em
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Am G D/F# Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
Em D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
C
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Em D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45
Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open, for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
{Chorus}
Bm C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Bm C
Always condemning me
Bm C Em Fm G
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe
{Chorus}
