[Intro] Bm A Bm A [Verse 1]
Bm                A
Once upon a time, I was of the mind

   Bm               A
To lay your burden down

Bm                          A
Leave you where you stood, You believed I could

       Bm             A
You'd seen it done before

Bm                               A
I could read your thoughts, and tell you what you saw

     Bm          A
And never say a word

     Bm                   A
But now all that is gone, over with and done

 Bm         A
Never to return
[Chorus]
    E  D   Bm
And I can tell you why

 E      D  Bm
people die alone

E  D   Bm
I can tell you I'm

   E     D       A
A shadow on the sun
Bm A Bm A [Verse 2]
 Bm                   A
Staring at the loss. Looking for the cause

     Bm           A
And never really sure

 Bm                    A
Nothing but a hole to live without a soul

     Bm            A
And nothing to be learned
[Chorus]
    E  D   Bm
And I can tell you why

 E     D  Bm
People go insane

E  D   Bm
I can show you how

E          D      E
You could do the same

    E  D   Bm
And I can tell you why

 E      D  Bm
people die alone

E  D   Bm
I can tell you I'm

   E     D       A
A shadow on the sun
[Instrumental] Bm A D A Bm A D E
E D Bm Bm (4x)    
(same accentuation as in the Refrain)
[Verse 3]
Bm               A    D              A
Shapes of every size move behind my eyes

Bm               A    D             A
Doors inside my head bolted from within

Bm              A    D              A
Every drop of flame lights a candle in

Bm             A       D                E
Memory of the one who lived inside my skin
[Chorus]
    E  D   Bm
And I can tell you why

 E     D  Bm
People go insane

E  D   Bm
I can show you how

E          D      E
You could do the same

    E  D   Bm
And I can tell you why

 E      D  Bm
people die alone

E  D   Bm
I can tell you I'm

   E     D       Bm
