Chords

[Intro] D7 [Verse 1]
    D7
The time has come the wild one said

     G7
When we must all decide

   D7
We cannot carry on this way

    G7
And so we must divide
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb
The road before us runs both ways

   G7
So which one do you choose

    Bb              G             D7
But all will not go well if you refuse
[Chorus]
Dm
What becomes of the upper me

         Bbmaj7
when the fire burns in my mind?

G7                       Dm
How can I leave my Ego behind?

Dm
I return to another me

     Bbmaj7
or I lose the will to survive

G7                      D7
How can I keep my hero alive?
[Verse 2]
   D7
It seems to me the wise one said

    G7
The mountains are so high

    D7
The river is too deep to cross

    G7
And none of us can fly
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb
But I believe that compromise

   G7
Is what is needed here

   Bb          G                  D7
Well surely we become the things we fear
[Bridge]
        F7
But the good in me don't wanna believe

F7
That the evil me is so

F7
And a voice somewhere said do as you please

                      G#                  Bb
But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no...
[Chorus]
Dm
What becomes of the upper me

         Bbmaj7
when the fire burns in my mind?

G7                       Dm
How can I leave my Ego behind?

Dm
I return to another me

     Bbmaj7
or I lose the will to survive

G7                      Dm
How can I keep my hero alive?
