Such a replaceable liar!!

Bridge:
[Bb] And I know you hear their [C]voices
(calling from a[Bb]bove)
And I know they may seem [C]real
(these signals of [Bb]love)
But our life's made up of
[C]choices (some without ap[Bb]peal)
They took for [G/B]granted your [C]soul
and it's [A/C#]ours now to s[Dm---]teal
As your nightmare comes to life!!

(Repeat Chorus 2)
