Verse 1:
E           B               E             A
I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again
E          B                A
In endless cycle of joy and pain
E                         B               A
Inside one day your whole life can change, innocence torn away
E                    B             A
Trust gives gives way to a thicker skin

Verse 2:
E                 B    E               A
A shield from the pain? Or a trap that keeps it all in?
E                      B                   A
They tries to break me down I had to break away
          E                  B                 A
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day...

Chorus:

Whoo-ooo-ooooh

Bridge:
E                   bii                          E
I wanna be a simple man, with a little peace of mind
              aii  bii               E
Live a simple life in a place that's kind
 (Repeat)

Verse 3:
E           B               E             A
I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again
E             B                A
In an endless cycle of joy and pain
E          B            A
NO POETRY, NO SYMMETRY, nothing left inside of me
     E                B                     A
What happened to that feeling of invincability

Verse 4:
E                 B
Broken up- Caught under the load
E                   A
Broken down- By the side of the road
E                      B                   A
They tried to break me down I had to break away
          E                  B                 A
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day...
