(Verse 1)

Gm               Ebsus2      Csus2           D7                     Gm
 Children in the playground,    laughing and dancing in the street

         Ebsus2                Csus2          D7              Gm
 All the colors of the rainbow     wrapped in childlike harmony

             Ebsus2   Csus2            D7           Gm
 Me, I'm not laughing     I see things only as they were

              Ebsus2     Csus2                  D7
 When I first needed you     yeah, when I first needed you




(Guitar solo)

Gm    Ebsus2    Csus2    D7




(Verse 2)

Gm    Ebsus2     Csus2     D7               Gm
 Cars passing by      representing my life

         Ebsus2          Csus2               D7              Gm
 I ain't old but I ain't     young enough to cry like a baby

         Ebsus2                Csus2        D7                  Gm
 And I'm so scared but I won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more

              Ebsus2                Csus2      D7
 Tough on the outside, tough on the outside       tough all over






Cm         F                    Bb
 Clouds go rollin' by as I lay

                   C   Cm         F
 floatin' in a stream     of semi-consciousness

      Bb                           D7
 I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til

               Gm         Ebsus2    Csus2
 I drown in my separate reality,

               D7            Gm
 sorry there's only room for me




(Guitar solo)

Gm    Ebsus2    Csus2    D7




(Verse 3)

Gm                 Ebsus2  Csus2       D7                  Gm
 I used to have an angel      she took care of everything

          Ebsus2              Csus2    D7                     Gm
 Yeah, so sometimes we cried     maybe more than most, but so what

           Ebsus2     Csus2    D7                             Gm
 We shared everything     even some things we should not have shared

                    Ebsus2   Csus2           D7
 Like my separate reality        now there's only room for me






Cm                F               Bb                C
 I walk among the criminals and I    pray among the saints

Cm                  F           Cm                    Gm         Bb5  C5
 And somewhere in between I try    to scrape off this war paint

                    F5  G5
 It's cold in here

                            Bb5  C5
 in the corner of my soul


 so dark and lonely

          Bb                D7
 Oh but I ain't never gonna let go




(Verse 4)

Gm               Ebsus2     Csus2            D7                     Gm
 Children in the playground     laughing and dancing in the street

         Ebsus2                Csus2          D7              Gm
 All the colors of the rainbow     wrapped in childlike harmony

             Ebsus2              Csus2            D7           Gm
 Me, I'm not laughing or dancing     I see things only as they were

              Ebsus2     Csus2                  D7
 When I first needed you     yeah, when I first needed you






Gm              Ebsus2     Csus2                       D7                  Gm
 I used to have everything     now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright

                   Ebsus2     Csus2               D7                 Gm
 'Cause I've got a new friend     and her name is tattooed across my chest

               Ebsus2      Csus2                     D7                  Gm
 And she won't let me down     'cause I ain't never, never gonna let her in

              Ebsus2                Csus2      D7
 Tough on the outside, tough on the outside      and it's surely tough

       Gm            Ebsus2  Csus2             D7            Gm
 In my    separate reality       sorry there's only room for me

                  Ebsus2   Csus2            D7            Gm          Ebsus2
 In my separate reality       sorry there's only room for me      for me

Csus2               D7                 Riff 1 (Ebsus2)
      Sorry there's only room for me
