Whatsoever I've feared has come to life 
Whatsoever I've fought off became my life 
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile 
Sunspots have faded 
And now I'm doing time 
Cause I fell on black days 
 
E, Bm, C, Bm, A
Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now 
Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down 
I'm a search light soul they say 
But I can't see it in the night 
I'm only faking when I get it right 
Cause I fell on black days 
How would I know 
That this could be my fate 
...E, D/F#, G, Dm

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind 
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine 
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly 
Hands are for shaking 
No, not tying 
No, not tying 
 
I sure don't mind a change 
But I fell on black days 
How would I know 
That this could be my fate
