Standard (EADGBE)

 When I play the intro I use:

Then when the guitar comes in: Fmajor DbM7 Dm7 Db (twice)

Flute solo

| = bar line

Then:

I never wanted to become someone like him, so secure

 content to live each day just like the last

 I was sure I knew that

This was not for me

 And I wanted so much more

 Far beyond what I could see

 So I swore that I'd

Never be someone like him

So many years have passed

Since I proclaimed

 My independance

 My mission

 My aim

 And my vision

 So secure

 Content to live each day like it's my last

 It's wonderful to know

 That I could be

Something more than what I dreamed

 Far beyond what I could see

 Still I swear that I'm

 Missing out this time

 As far as I could tell

 There's nothing more I need

 But still I ask myself

 Could this be everything

 Then all I swore

 That I would never be was now

 So suddenly

 The only thing

 I wanted

 To become

 To be someone just like him

2. Mediate (awakening)

Bass solo then

A doctor sitting next to me

 He asked me how I feel

 Not sure I understand his questioning

He says I've been away a while

 But thinks he has cured me

 From a state of catatonic sleep

For 30 years

 Where have I been

Eyes open

 But not getting through to me

Medicate me

Infiltrate me

Side effects appear

 As my conscience slips away

Medicate me

Science failing

Conscience fading fast

 Can't you stop what's happening

A higher dosage he prescribes

 But there's no guarantee

 I feel it starting to take over me

I tell him not to be ashamed

 There's no one who's to blame

 A second shot, A brief awakening

I feel the relapse

 Can't break free

Eyes open

 But not getting through to me

Medicate me

Infiltrate me

Side effects appear

 As my conscience slips away

Medicate me

Science failing

Conscience fading fast

 Can't you stop what's happening
