verse 1
D F#m
The more I see, the less I understand
G Bm A
The harder I work, the poorer I feel
D F#m
The deeper the faith, the more I'm broken
G A
The more I hear, the less it all seems real
Then you come around
Bm
With your soft young skin
G A
With no idea what you're about to step in
G A
And in these times you remind me
Bm
Of the man I used to be
G A D
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now
verse 2
F#m
I've seen hope rise, come crashing down again
G Bm A
Seen the bashing of brains, seen the city unwind
D F#m
Seen the overthrow, of dictators and tyrants
G A
Seen the gory mess, they always leave behind
Then you stop by
Bm
Talkin 'bout yer dreams
G A
You see a world not yet ripped apart at the seams

And in these times you remind me
Bm
Of the man I used to be
G A D D7
If I had a heart, you'd be breaking it now

G A
You'll see truth, turned into lies
Bm D
Light turned to dark, hearts broke in two

Just one thing, before I die

I want to make one lie come true

Of the man I used to be
