Chords

As recorded by Helloween (From the 1993 Album CHAMELEON) [Intro]
C#m
    Now it's time—to shake it all up to be free

C#m
Now it's time—to make us some room to let us be

C#m
Oh, it feels so bad

C#m
Yes, it feels so bad

C#m
When everything good looks so bad

C#m
When everything right goes so wrong
[Verse 1]
C#m
I am up—to break it all down, what's in my way

C#m
I won't stop—until I am where I'm going to stay

C#m
No one holds me back

C#m
No, no one holds me back

C#m
Don't wanna be what I'm not

C#m
But it's gotta be myself who breaks my neck
[Pre-Chorus]
A
I look here and you look there

A
(Over my head)

A
I know it's got to be somewhere

A
We look around and search around

A
(Look over my head; you won't see no halo)

A
And walk around and hear around

E
We keep on looking till we know what for

   A
If you don't know it, I don't know it

A
(It's driving me mad)

A
We don't know it, who will know it?

A
All of us don't know what we should know

                       B
(I must hold it back inside)

B
Maybe one day, we'll know

B
But anyway, we've got to make a stop
[Chorus]
E                                  A
When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us

E                                   A
When we finally search inside, it's under us

   E
We keep on looking anyway

   B
If we don't find it, who must pay?

A
All I've ever done, I've done for you!
[Interlude] C#m [Verse 2]
C#m
In my mind—the battle goes on till I give up

C#m
Will we find—the key of life we once have dropped?

C#m
Do you really care?

C#m
Tell me you really care!

C#m
You may find Mr. Blame

C#m
But the guilt of life burns everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Give me light to see my inside

A
(Over my head)

A
Give me light to see my sin

A
I'd never do what I regret

A
(Look over my head; you won't see no halo)

A
I've never done anything bad

    E
You must be joking when you point at me!

     A
Hey! Don't you blame me! Don't you touch me!

A
(It's driving me mad)

A
Won't you ever leave me be?

A
I wanna live! Don't wanna think!

A
(I must hold it back inside)

A
Why should I give what I can drink?

     B
Man! Life is short, so I take what I need!
[Chorus]
E                                  A
When the sinner searches sin, it's all of us

E                                   A
When we finally search inside, it's under us

   E
We keep on looking anyway

   B
If we don't find it, who must pay?

A
All I've ever done, I've done for you!
[Bridge]
A
Pain!

A
I feel inside, it's such a

E
Shame!

E
No one fights fair, but who's to

B
Blame!

                               A        B
Might be the game of life, but it ain't over

E
Now!

E
I walk my way firm

   A
Anyhow!

A
My conscience speaks and there are

B
Doubts!

                                A        B
But nothing's sure in life, and it ain't over

E     N.C.
Now!
