Chords

[Intro] D F# C# [Verse]
D      F#
I must make a choice

  C#
A tough decision

D      F#
Listen to my voice

C#
Should I give in

D      F#         C#
To temptation admiration

D         F#
One leads to myself

    C#             Bm
The other some one else

              D
Just an empty shell

E             F#
Just an empty shell
[Link] E F# E [Verse]
     D      F#
It's harder than it seems

C#
When you're told that

D        F#
All your hopes and dreams

    C#
Are yours to hold if

D        F#
You just give them

         C#
What's expected

D         F#
Something they can sell

C#         Bm
Put upon a shelf

                 D
But I am not for sale

E            F#
I am not for sale
[Chorus]
F#               A
I here a voice inside

                    E
It's grown into a scream

                      C#
I'm not the next of them

  D               F#
I am the first of me

                         A
'Cause I can't live the lie

                    E
I am just what you see

                     C#
I'm not the next of them

  D               F#      E
I am the first of me
[Verse]
D    F#
If I can't refuse

    C#
The price they offer

D    F#
I am sure to lose

    C#
And I will suffer

D       F#             C#
Sell my soul to make a profit

D     F#
All I have to do

   C#                Bm
Is make believe it's true

                       D
That something I can't do

     E                 F#
That something I can't do
[Chorus]
F#               A
I here a voice inside

                    E
It's grown into a scream

                      C#
I'm not the next of them

  D               F#
I am the first of me

                         A
'Cause I can't live the lie

                    E
I am just what you see

                     C#
I'm not the next of them

  D               F# A E C#
I am the first of me

  D               F# A E C#
I am the first of me

  D               F#
I am the first of me

                       A
So when the waiting's gone

                        E
It's time to face the truth

                     C#
You know your good enough

      D              F#
Deep down inside of you

                      A
You're finally woken up

                  E
If only just to prove

                          C#
You are born to lead the way

      D               F#
Then be the first of you
