Tom : G
[Trecho 2x]
G C
Do do do do doo do do doo
G C
Do do do do doo do do doo
[Verse 1]
G
Darling don't you understand I feel so ill at ease
C
The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
G
Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free
C Am Em
Take this overcoat of shame; it never did belong to me
D G
It never did belong to me
[Verse 2]
G
I need to go outside, I need to leave the smoke
C
'Cause I can't go on living in the same sick joke
G
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
C Am Em
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
D G
You have given me the gift
[Verse 3]
G Bb

F G

Am Em

D
Just like we said we always would
