(D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
(G major) (A minor)
Verse 1
It started out quite simply, as (F major)
complex things can (E major) (A minor) do;
A set of sad transpar (C major) encies (F major) till
no one could see (E major) through,
(D minor) But least of all (C major) the one inside,
(D minor) behind the iron (F major) (G major) (A minor) glass;
A prisoner of all your dream (F major) s
that never come (G major) to pass. (C major)

Verse 2
Alone you stand, (A minor)
corrupted by (F major) the vision (G major) that you sought, (C major)
(A minor) And blinded by (E minor) your hunger,
all (F major) your appetites (G major) are bought,
(A minor) But in spite of what becomes (C major) of you,
(D minor) your image will (F major) (G major) (A minor) remain;
A reminder of your constant loss,
a (F major) symbol of (E major) your (A minor) gain.
Verse 3
And your (D major) friends are together, (A minor)
Where the (D major) people are all (D minor) gathered, (A minor)
All along the road you traveled (G major) all your
(A minor) days.

Verse 4
(A minor) And soon, you have (C major) succumbed to
what (F major) the others all be (E major) lieve,
(A minor) And though the lie (C major) af fects them still
(F major) it's you that they (E major) de ceive,
And all (D minor) at once (C major) you're lost within (D minor) the emptiness of (F major) you,
(G major) (A minor)
And there's no (C major) one left who's near
(F major) enough to tell you (G major) what to do.
(C major) You're left with noth
Verse 5
(A minor) ing but
your self-poten (F major) tial in (G major) in (C major) the dark,
(A minor) Like tinder (E minor) resting on a rock
(F major) , protected from the (G major) spark,
(A minor) But your fire just (C major) consumes you,
(D major) you alone can feel (F major) the pain, (G major)
(A minor) And you stand in all your glory (C major) and
you (F major) know you can (E major) 't complain.
Verse 6
(A minor) But your friends (D major) are together, (A minor)
Where the people (D minor) are all gathered, (A minor)
All along the road you
traveled (G major) all your (A minor) days.
Verse 7
But you (A minor) are surely just as evil (C major) as the
(F major) worst my tongue (E major) can tell,
(A minor) For you'll never face my (C major) heaven
and (F major) I'll not endure (E major) your hell.
(A minor) You have (D minor) lost the chance (C major) to mingle by (G major) your con (D minor) stant,
quiet (F major) (G major) (A minor) lies;
Deception (C major) s hidden with your lips, (F major)
but spoken (G major) with your eyes.
(C major) For I know you
Verse 8
(A minor) for what you are,
not (F major) for that's (G major) really all (C major) you are.
(A minor) And your talent (E minor) s of a minor or
(F major) der seem to stretch (G major) too far.
(A minor) And we both know that this masquerade
(D major) can't carry (F major) on too long. (G major)
(A minor) You're deep inside the (G major) Pride Parade,
but (F major) where do you (E minor) be (A major) long? (A minor)
And (A major) your
Verse 9
(D major) friends are together, (A minor)
Where the people (D minor) are all gathered, (A minor)
All along the road you traveled (G major)
Outro 1
all your days.
