G*                          C                              D
And I am now aware that I havn't always had been at this moment
                             G*                           C
sat me there sitting by this fire and blue waiting for you and
                               D
and thought I've been expected I've never quite accepted that the
Am                                                   Em^
fire, had suddenly gone out the hands will fall away.
G                                       D
the pain appeal, the trees will say its oookaay,
           Am                       Em
'cause I'm scared that there's no answer
           G                      D
'cause I'm scared that there's no dreamers
         Am     Em             G     D         C          Am       G
In this life of mine, there is only time, the illusion of which is gone.


G*                                         C
All my words are spread across the canvas, no one's seemed
                     D        G*
to see the things I say, and though these eyes were once
                     C                           D
those of an artist, failure has relieved me of a face.
    G*                    C                                D
And I am now aware that I am only the brushstrokes on the headstone
                     G*                                  C
of a man that never lived, and this oh thise, is this, a life
                          D
that I have failed and I hoped to be forgiven. The

fire, had suddenly gone out the hands will fall away.
G                                       D
the pain appeal, the trees will say its oookaay,
           Am                       Em
'cause I'm scared that there's no answer
           G                      D
'cause I'm scared that there's no dreamers
         Am     Em             G     D         C          Am       G  
In this life of mine, there is only time, the illusion of which is gone.


G* right before you hit the C chord after you play this G, he does a little walk up like so:

D|-0-0--2-2--2-2--|
A|-2-2--0-0--3-3--|
E|-3-3--X-X--X-X--|

Em^ during the chorus just means a little chord changes like so:

E|-0-0--0-0-0-0--|
B|-0-0--1-0-0-0--|
G|-0-0--0-0-2-0--| x2     Again just listen, and you'll catch it.
