Without hiding ourselves for once

           Bbm        Abm
'Cause you never said help

You never said anything the way

        Ebm         E        Abm
That we dreamed ourselves to fear

And holding our heads...

- I would have thought that

      Abm             E
I had more color than him

- My skin has gone stark white

       Abm           Gb
And an ash covers my skin

B                    Gb

It seems to have worked for you
