 Em                                       G
People back home, wondering how have you been

          Em                                        D
It's been 29 days, have you gone out and made any friends?

        Em                                            Cmaj7
Do you need any money, is there anything else we can send?

        Am                     G            D/F#      Em
Please tell us you've stayed away from the darkness again

   Em                                           G
I wonder if you've ever known how it feels to be free

      Em                                                       D
Well, one thing's for sure, you don't know what it's like to be me

      Am                                                          C
I'm trying to break free from these chains, won't you give me a break?

          Am                     G             D/F#      Em
Now, you just got to give me a chance to make my own mistakes
[Chorus]
       C    G    D
And I feel no   pain

 C           G            D
Nothing can touch me, and I'm gonna win

         C           G         Em        A     Asus4   A
And I'm not holding back, not reining it in

     F                          Am                      Em
You hold back the darkness, and I'll see the sun rise again
[Solo] | A/C# D G D/F# | Em | 2x | A/C# D B/D# Em | C | Am G D/F# | Em | [Chorus]
       C    G    D
And I feel no   pain

 C           G            D
Nothing can touch me, and I'm gonna win

         C           G         Em        A     Asus4   A
And I'm not holding back, not reining it in

     F                          Am                      Em
You hold back the darkness, and I'll see the sun rise again
