A C#m
Thoughts, of you and your friends
D
They keep me together
E
You're one step ahead
A VERSE 1
Don't leave me behind
C#m
You, have you no shame
D
I don't want forever
E
Just keep it the same
C D
'Cause when I have the spotlight
G G/F# Em PRECHORUS 1
I leave it all behi----------nd
C D E? E
And forget that sooner or later all your promises turn to lies
Bm G
This can't be me, screaming from the stage
D A
Trying to be the one, calling out your name. CHORUS
Bm G
I looked into the crystal, I never wished for fame
D A
I only want to be great, I know they're not the same.

verse2 lyrics:
Stop, help me to my feet
Can't you see that I'm severed
Lead me to my bed
Unfold the blankets
As I drift off to sleep
Will me to heaven
As I will to you
And I hope you know that
