Whose eyes am I be hind?

I don’t rec og nize an y thing that I see.

Whose skin is this de sign?

I don’t want this to be the way that you see me.

I don’t un der stand an y (Absus2)thing an y more.

And (Bb5)this web that I’ve tied up is tak in’ me right up these walls that I climb up to (Absus2)get to your sto ry.

It’s an y thing but (Absus2)or di nar y.

And when the world is on it’s (Bb5)knees with me it’s (C5)fine.

And when I (F5)come to the res cue I get noth (Bb5)in’ but left be (C5)hind.

af ter time.

Ev ’ry bod (Ab5)y seems to be get tin’ what they (Bb5)need, where’s (C5)mine?

’Cause you’re what (Ab5)I need so ver y but I’m an (Bb5)y thing but (C5)or di nar y.

Can you save me from this world of mine

You are the one.

This is not some kind of joke.

You’re just a kid.

You weren’t read y for what you did, no.

I think I’m try in’ to save the world for you.

You been sav in’ me

We could (F)just stay in and save each oth er.

I’m an y thing but or di nar y, or di nar y.
