[Verse 1]
Esus2              Dsus2
This is a crisis I knew had to come
    C                      Bsus2
Destroying the balance I'd kept
    Esus2                Dsus2
Doubting, unsettling and turning around
   C                     E
Wondering what will come next
Esus2                     Dsus2
Is this the role that you wanted to live?
      C                     Bsus2
I was foolish to ask for so much
  Esus2                    Dsus2
Without the protection and infancy's guard
   C                        E
It all falls apart at first touch

[Verse 2]
Esus2                   Dsus2
Watching the reel as it comes to a close
    C               Bsus2
Brutally taking its time
   Esus2                 Dsus2
People who change for no reason at all
     C                    E
It's happening all of the time
Esus2                 Dsus2
Can I go on with this train of events?
    C                     Bsus2
Disturbing and purging my mind
     Esus2                  Dsus2
Back out of my duties, when all's said and done
  C                         E
I know that I'll lose every time

[Verse 3]
Esus2               Dsus2
Moving along in our God given ways
    C                Bsus2
Safety is sat by the fire
   Esus2             Dsus2
Sanctuary from these feverish smiles
     C                  E
Left with a mark on the door
Esus2                   Dsus2
Is this the gift that I wanted to give?
    C                          Bsus2
Forgive and forget's what they teach
   Esus2                        Dsus2
Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more
    C                          E
And watch as they drown by the beach

[Verse 4]
N.C. (riff 2)
This is the crisis I knew had to come

Destroying the balance I'd kept
N.C. (riff 2)
Turning around to the next set of lives

Wondering what will come next
