Verse

1. The[B5] sun rises to a[F5]nother [D5]day[D5]
My constitution keeps changing, 'Til it slips away
So I lie awake and stare
My mind thinking, just wandering, Does anybody care?
2. Sitting in my room now
Hiding thoughts just hoping one day I'll get out
I hear a voice call my name
Breaking trance so silent, So I can stay the same

Chorus (Same Figure)


Should I stay or go?
Should I sleep or stay awake?
Am I really happy or it is all
Just an illusion

Solo

[D] [Bb] [C] [A]
This is a toughie, but a goodie...I've got most of it transcribed,
and will send it to the archive either when I finish or when
someone writes and requests it...I just have a lack of time
right now....

Bridge

[D]Wait now, ma[Bb]ny things left unsa[C]id[A]
This life remains the same but I change
I try to fool myself in believing
Things are going to get better but life goes on

End on a chorus, and that's it! Questions, comments,
suggestions, and requests to
