Do you not know why but you feel so all alone

Pointing fingers now becomes the nature of your game

You've been dreaming for so long for something out of reach 
           A                                   B 
That you forgot now that when you dream you're always fast asleep

You been down, just pushed and pulled

Ain't it a crying shame 
                E                          A 
when you got to see there's no one left to blame 
A                      B 
baby you ain't going nowhere 
                   E 
dragging all those chains 

E   A   B 

A                E 
Buried all those bones of the past 
       A               E 
In the shadows late at night 
      A                      E 
but I tell you now, mind the rain and the wind 
          A                      B 
cause the skeletons are marching back towards the light 

E                         B 
Are you blind, do you not see 
         A                B                    E     B 
Yes, you keep playing the prisoner when you're free 
          E                  B 
Drop your swords and come on home 
               A            B         E     B 
Don't you grow tired now of being all alone

Step over the sidelines, you'll see your view will change

pointing fingers now is not the nature of your game 
Dbm                                  Abm 
You've been dreaming for so long for something out of reach

That you forgot now that when you dream you're always fast asleep

Ain't it a crying shame
