[Verse:]

Same chord progression as in intro, I put out the chords anyway.
I'm not sure of the lyrics though.

Abm                  E
  Don't know where I come from
Gb                    B  Gb
  Don't know where to go.
Abm               E
  Don't know if I know
          Ebm        Gb
  What is good to be known.

I wonder with/if madness
Is just a child of my urge to know.
The more that I ask
The more I get down

[Bridge:]

This part has some errors in it... Second guitar is probably one octave higher.
There's also a third guitar harmony, but it's almost identical to the first one,
insted of picking strings Ab Gb Bb in the B chord pick Ab Db Gb.

    A million times my quest for life is pain
  But still it has not made me going insane

[Chorus:]

Abm     Emaj7/Ab Abm Gb     Gbus4 Gb
  And I l-o-ng   for more.
Abm     E     B  Gb     Gbsus4 Gb
  For a trace of life.
Dbm       A    Dbm B       Bsus4 B
  Tearing down all doors.
Dbm     A     Dbm B
  For a trace of  life.


[Verse:]

You tell me you wonder
If wondering is heaven or hell
You say that you've got the view
On the dark side of life

You can't see the shadows the others can see
but you can see it's well
the sun and the day
the light in the sky

[Bridge:]

A million times your quest for life has been pain
but still it is the key to make you sain

[Chorus:]

And I long for more.
For a trace of life.
Tearing down all doors.
For a trace of life.
