As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you?d been better
Off if you?d just told the truth
Chorus:
Bsus2                           Csus2                   F5   G5     
  Never    had a problem ?till I stood face to face with me
     Bsus2                         Csus2         F5 
And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
G5         Bsus2                       Csus2               F5    G5
   All the faces of the people who have torn a piece from me
          Bsus2      Csus2    F5        Gm7       
As I grew     from a seed             to a tree
(Use opening chord pattern)
Can you feel the power of the eye 
That?s hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
No chords...
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
D7             Csus2    B                  Gsus4 
There?s a fine line       between love and my feelings for you
D7        Csus2     B              F5 G5    
   High time      I washed it all away
D7     Csus2    B               Gsus4   
   Un--kind, I watched your future born before you
D7     Csus2   B      
   De--nied, a chance of any love in your life
(Again, use opening chord pattern...)
And I ask you one time..Why?
-Chorus-
but end like this:
       Bsus2     Csus2               F5 
as I grew                from a seed
G5      Bsus2    Csus2 
to a tree
