CI sit aloneG in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning
AmI hold my breath and Cclose eyes
AndAm dream about Gher
FCause she's 20G00 light years aCway
She holds my mala kite so tight so
Never let go
Cause she 2000 light years away
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter, we laugh together

Don't blame me if this is totally wrong, I'm guessing the words. The chords are right though.
Bear in mind that I have only heard this song once.

Verse Lyrics:
When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality
Pre Chorus:
Do you think you're indestructable
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth...
Chorus:
Cause it's just one of my lies!
Well, its just its just one of my lies
And all I wanted to was get real high
Well, its just its just one of my lies
Verse2 Lyrics/w Verse 1 chords
Why does my life have to be so small'
Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own'
Don't give me an answer cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you're been there once
Well I hardly think so
Pre Chorus:
Do you think you're indestructable
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth...
Chorus:
Cause it's just one of my lies!
Well, its just its just one of my lies
And all I wanted to was get real high
Well, its just its just one of my lies
Pre Chorus Chords:
I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too...

Looking at the clouds in the sky
floating image in my mind
I don't believe I've found this'
now I wonder where this place is from
Evidence is everywhere
start to run now I'm scared
strange beings all around
come everyone, to this place I've found
Feeling phsyced
walking' wonder why
all my joys are open no more crimes
My eyes are clear
now I'm cured
I only wanna be for sure
Watch my life spin around in vibes'
so it rides farther to the 'side'
Look in my head and you will find
mother love from all mankind
'
no matter where they say I have begun'
