A C#m

Thoughts, of you and your friends

They keep me together

You're one step ahead

A VERSE 1

Don't leave me behind

C#m

You, have you no shame

D

I don't want forever

E

Just keep it the same

C D

'Cause when I have the spotlight

G G/F# Em PRECHORUS 1

I leave it all behi----------nd

C D E? E

And forget that sooner or later all your promises turn to lies

Bm G

This can't be me, screaming from the stage

D A

Trying to be the one, calling out your name. CHORUS

Bm G

I looked into the crystal, I never wished for fame

D A

I only want to be great, I know they're not the same.

verse2 lyrics:

Stop, help me to my feet

Can't you see that I'm severed

Lead me to my bed

Unfold the blankets

As I drift off to sleep

Will me to heaven

As I will to you

And I hope you know that
