CHORUS:
F C G C F C
You are trying to live for tomorrow
G F C
Trying to block out the sorrow
F C G C F C
You are trying to hold back the Sun rise
G F C
Drawing a curtain of lies
G
Dm
I wasted my youth
C
Worrying I was wasting away
G F
Waiting for someone to say “you're number 1“
Dm
Under the carpet
C
Where most of my life was lived in darkness
G F
Waiting for me to start to work it out
