Verse 1
It [Bm]went so [A]well for [D]you[A]
With a [F#m]place right where you [E]wanted
And the [D]ones to fill it [E]to
But [Bm]some blows [A]break the [D]spell[A]
That it [F#m]hits you every [E]day
Until you [D]need to hit as [E][F#m][D]well[D][F#m]
Chorus
It's just a [F#m]shadow of the man [Esus4]you [E]should [A][Esus4]be[E]
Like a [F#m]garden in the [Esus4]forest
[E]That the [A]world will never [Esus4]see[E]
You [F#m]have no thought of [Esus4]answers
[E]Only [A]questions to be [Esus4]filled[E]
And it [F#m]feels like [D][F#m][D]hell[D][F#m]

It [Bm]all seemed [A]fine for [D]you[A]
Till the [F#m]struggle of [E]ambition
Turned in [D]violence upon you[E]
[Bm]Sometimes a [A]landslide [D]comes[A]
If you're [F#m]hiding in that [E]avalanche
You [D]need a place to [E][F#m]run[D][F#m][D]

Verse 3
Did we [Bm]ever [A]have it [D]good[A]
While we [F#m]lived in [E]Eldorado
Did we [D]find the gold we [E]should
If it [Bm]really [A]was the [D]truth[A]
Why are [F#m]faces filled with [E]anger
That should [D]only shine [E]with [F#m]youth[D][F#m][D]

[D]Frustration brings [Bm]a heavy [E]hand to [F#m]bear
[D]And there never is a [Bm]hand [E]outside that [F#m]cares
[D]Still the promise comes [Bm]of living [E]fit for [F#m]all
[D]If we only get our [Bm]back [E]against the [F#m]wall
[D]I look at backs that [Bm]pushed [E]the wall for [F#m]years
[D]Scarred by many knives [Bm]and too [E]much [F#m]fear
