He took a long look in the mirror, shook his head

Felt the arms of God letting go

Couldn't breathe, it had to stop



                       A5               B5            /D5

Voices screaming out inside of him... inside of him

(Repeated until chord change)



The world was turning black, cold, cruel and vicious



                       A5              B5      /D5  

Time was knocking on a closing door... wanting      more





(Repeat Verse riff four times, into chorus)





Chorus 1 (0:57):



E5                  D5                          C5

Playing pieces of a life-long play in which the starring actor



          B5                         E5

makes the world go around inside his head



                   D5                 C5

Then suddenly, the act is ending. The lights are dimming



        D5

and the music's playing





(Note: I'm not completely sure if the following complete fill

       is played under the chorus chords, or just certain

       sections of it. Feel free to play whatever you want)

       ((Played twice))

There was a woman lying on the floor; blueish, pale

Staring a hole through his soul

There was blood underneath



                  A5             B5            /D5

The shotgun lying next to her... next to her

He mumbled "Am I closer now?"



                                      A5            B5            /D5  

"Is this the path that God has chosen out for me... out for me?"

       on bass guitar. They can still be played on guitar anyway)
