Intro strum first D chord slowly through once

D
All of my life,
D
all of my life
G
I stood outside the circle,
G
right outside the circle
D
Being so wrong,
D
somehow felt right
G
Who needs to belong, 
G
that feeling was so strong

D,G x1 (for break - in same progression as intro)

D
Wearing me down, 
D
turning me round
G
The strongest of intentions 
G
fade into convention
    Em             A
I'm not sure if my heart still knows
    Em            C         A
The place where I wanted to go

(Chorus)  
          D
Making me change direction  
          G
Taking my life every day  
          Bm
I feel my heart in danger  
      Em           A
And I need to hideaway  
            D
Watching my best intentions  
        G
Fading away every day  
          Bm
I feel my heart in danger  
      C             A
And I need to hide away


Living alone, 
is always a fight
Why stand out in the storm
It's so easy to conform
The highest of hopes 
slowly come down
Fearful of rejection satisfied with imperfection
And what I thought was truly mine
Is somehow slipping away

(Repeat Chorus)

(Middle 16)  
Gm                     D
Hideaway from what the world can do  
Em            A
Changing everyone  
Gm                D
Hideaway from the thief of time  
Em       C       A
Stealing what is mine

(Lead solo)
(Chorus on acoustic)
(Chorus to fade)
