[Intro]
G Cm (x2)
[Verse 1]
Cm Fm
I woke up screaming with blood on my feet,
G# G
The whole thing felt so real.
Cm Fm
I had the world out to get me in a twisted dream,
G# G
A real go nowhere ordeal.
Cm Fm
Your blue strings caressed me as I made my last stand,
G# G
While your lights picked me out of the night.
Cm Fm
And everyone forgot me as I flocked the land,
G# G
You said you’d always make sure I’m alright.
[Bridge]
G Cm
I think its all illusions baby!
G Cm
I think its all illusions baby!
G Cm
I think its all illusions baby!
G Cm
I think its all illusions!
[Chorus]
E F#
I’m waiting for the day,
G#m
When I can choose my desires.
E F#
I’m waiting for the day,
G#m
When I’m whole again.
E F#
I’m waiting for the day,
G#m
Where we can stand up defiant.
E C#m
I’m waiting for the day.
[Verse 2]
Cm Fm
I woke up steaming with hot regrets,
G# G
I’ve been sleeping with the enemy.
Cm Fm
A corporate monster with flash epaulettes,
G# G
Sapping all my energy.
Cm Fm
I spend all day working for enough to live,
G# G
Wasting all my time away.
Cm Fm
But now I got no reason to forget or forgive,
G# G
I’m getting out to make my future today.

I don’t need illusions!
