Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
The dance of my mind
G 
Am 
upon the stage of my body
G 
as it turns away with age
Am 
G 
from a heart that alternates between rage
F 
E 
Am 
and the sleep of one you cannot rest
G 
can it be that this is how it ends
Am 
G 
the object of a lie among friends
Am 
G 
Whose health is licensed to pretend
F 
E 
Oh sleep, please take me to your breast
Dm 
I have lived by the word,
E 
I have forgone the fist
F 
I have taken so much,
E 
Am 
G 
Am 
G 
but I can't take this
Am 
G 
Day and night are now one and the same
Am 
G 
Wind, no different than rain
Am 
G 
The peace, no different than the pain
F 
E 
Am 
Oh, life, let me once more kiss your hand
When there's no voice to
G 
sing my private song
Am 
Will there be a home
G 
somewhere in the dawn
Am 
G 
Where once my passion would have gone
F 
E 
Oh life, have I been a foolish man
Dm 
I have lived by the word,
E 
I have forgone the fist
F 
E 
I've taken so much but I can't take
Am 
G 
F 
E 
Am 
G 
F 
E 
this
Am 
Pain was like a siren before
G 
Am 
G 
At entrance between sea and shore
Am 
I'd struggle free,
G 
only to give in once more
F 
E 
And now I've seen my final sitting sun
Am 
Thus I went down,
G 
as we all must descend
Am 
Yeah, my death started exactly then
G 
Am 
But that which starts must be
G 
also that which ends
F 
E 
Oh, death, may you have done
