Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide
  Bm               E7
No escape from reality

F#m
Open your eyes
     A                    D
Look up to the skies and see
Bm                    E
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
            A#    A    G#    A  A#      A    G#      A
Because it easy come, easy go, little high, little low
D             A         C            E               A
Any way the wind blows, doesn't realy matter to me     to me

Mama, just killed a man
      Bm
Put a gun against his head

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
A               F#m

But now I've gone and thrown it

If I'm not back again this time
     D      A         Bm
Tomorrow,Carry on, carry on
      Gm             D
As if nothing really matters

Too late
   F#m
My time has come
      Bm
Sends shivers down my spine

Goodbye everybody
     F#m
I've got to go
 Bm                  D                    E
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
D     Bm
Mama, Ooooh
   Em
I don't want to die

I sometimes wish I'd never been
         D
Born at all
