[Verse 1]
A
I know it's hard to find the words so often standin' face-to-face
E
Sometimes it takes a thin white sheet to put things into place
D E D E D
Things that I could never say come floodin' out somehow upon these lines
[Verse 2]
A
I'm still fightin' the same battles I've been fightin' all these years
E
Dream is not a dream unless you're livin' with a fear
D
What they say will be forgotten, all that's done will be for naught
E D E D
And why?
[Verse 3]
A
And it's been a long time, Lord, since I sat down and had a cry
E
It's sometimes overwhelmin' and I can't tell ya why
D
But I remember Jackson singin' "Doctor, doctor, please,
E D E D
My eyes"
[Instrumental]
A E D E D E D
[Verse 4]
A
My heroes, they're all dyin' or they're sittin' in a cell
E
Due to years of medicatin', minds that hurt so well
D
There's a thin line, don't you see, between genius and insanity
E D E D
Which am I?
[Verse 5]
A
One thing that scares the hell in me is livin' with mortality
E
And worryin' that I'm insane talkin' to a God unseen
D
Must surely make me crazy, so crazy's what I'll be
E D E D
'Til I'm gone
A
'Til I'm gone
[Instrumental]
A E D E D E D
[Verse 6]
A
And I'll scream out to the sun and to the moon and to the stars
E
I'll scream until my voice finds you, no matter where you are
D
I'll scream until I've got no breath and all that's left to take is death
E D E D
And I'm done
A
When I'm done
[Instrumental]
