A A6 D/A When sadness fills your heart F#m Eadd9 E9 And sorrow hides the longing to be free A A6 D/A When things go wrong each day F#m Eadd9 E9 You fix your mind to 'scape your misery F#m Your troubled young life A A6 Had made you turn D/A Eadd9 E9 To a needle of death A A6 D/A How strange, your happy words F#m Eadd9 E9 Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone A A6 D/A How tears have filled the eyes F#m Eadd9 E9 Of friends that you once had walked among F#m Your troubled young life A A6 Had made you turn D/A Eadd9 E9 To a needle of death A A6 D/A One grain of pure white snow F#m Eadd9 E9 Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain A A6 D/A In peace your mind withdraws F#m Eadd9 E9 Your death's so near your soul can't feel no pain F#m Your troubled young life A A6 Had made you turn D/A Eadd9 E9 To a needle of death A A6 D/A Your mother stands a'cryin' F#m Eadd9 E9 While to the earth your body's slowly cast A A6 D/A Your father stands in silence F#m Eadd9 E9 Caressing every young dream of the past F#m Your troubled young life A A6 Had made you turn D/A Eadd9 E9 To a needle of death A A6 D/A Through ages, man's desires F#m Eadd9 E9 To free his mind, to release his very soul A A6 D/A Has proved to all who live F#m Eadd9 E9 That death itself is freedom for evermore F#m Your troubled young life A A6 Had made you turn D/A Eadd9 E9 To a needle of death End on A
