Fade in 
When I play the intro I use: Fm Dbm Fm Bbm Fm Dbm Fm
Then when the guitar comes in: Fmajor DbM7 Dm7 Db (twice) Fm | Fm | Fm | Fm | Cm | Bbm | Fm | Eb/G | Ab | C/E | FmFm/Eb | 
Dm7b5 | Fdim | C/E | C/E
Then: 
Fm | Dbm | Fm | Dbm |
FmDbmFmAbmEb I never wanted to become someone like him, so secure
AbCmD content to live each day just like the last
 Bm7b5 I was sure I knew that 
AC#mD9 This was not for me
AC#mC And I wanted so much more
EmBbDm Far beyond what I could see
Db So I swore that I'd
BbDmF#mF#m Never be someone like him
FmDbm So many years have passed
FmAbm Since I proclaimed
Eb/Bb My independance 
Abm My mission
Eb/Bb My aim 
Abm And my vision
Eb So secure
AbmEb/GD/F# Content to live each day like it's my last
Bm7A It's wonderful to know
C#mD9 That I could be
AC#mC Something more than what I dreamed
EmBbDm Far beyond what I could see
C#Bb Still I swear that I'm
C# Missing out this time
E/BA/B As far as I could tell 
E/BB There's nothing more I need
E/BA/B But still I ask myself 
Em/BB Could this be everything
B Then all I swore
BbBb/FD/A That I would never be was now
F#m/C# So suddenly
Am/E The only thing 
Em I wanted
D To become
Dm/FA To be someone just like him
Bass solo then: A | Dm/F | A |Dm/F
ADm/F A doctor sitting next to me
A He asked me how I feel
Dm/F Not sure I understand his questioning
ADm/F He says I've been away a while
F#m But thinks he has cured me
F From a state of catatonic sleep
DF For 30 years
A Where have I been
D/F# Eyes open 
FA But not getting through to me
A Medicate me
Am/FA/F#Am/F Side effects appear 
A As my conscience slips away
A Medicate me
Am/FA/F#Am/F Conscience fading fast 
A | Dm/F | A | Dm/F(stop and sustain-1 bar) Can't you stop what's happening
ADm/F A higher dosage he prescribes
A But there's no guarantee
Dm/F I feel it starting to take over me
ADm/F I tell him not to be ashamed
F#m There's no one who's to blame
F A second shot, A brief awakening
DF I feel the relapse
A Can't break free
D/F# Eyes open 
FA But not getting through to me
A Medicate me
Am/FA/F#Am/F Side effects appear 
A As my conscience slips away
A Medicate me
Am/FA/F#Am/F Conscience fading fast 
A Can't you stop what's happening
