Em
I'm searching for a whole new beginning
D
An endless void
Em
This notion that I sense within me
D
You're still by my side
Em
Oh, I feel your presence
D
You'll never leave here
Em
But if I reach out there to hold you
D
Every part that's real disappears

C                        D
As I become more present now
                        Am
I can't see through the pain
                        Em
A hollow cut through my veins

(The phantom takes his toll)

[Solo] C  D  Am  Em

Em
The days that just keep on coming
D
The stain that they leave
Em
I wish I could break this casket
D
But I'm left here to grieve
Em
In a world of my own design

C                        D
As I become more present now
                        Am
I can't see through the pain
                        Em
A hollow cut through my veins

(The phantom takes his toll)

C                        D
And did you leave me anything?
                         Am
You're the phantom of my past
                    Em
Do you expect me to last, this way?

[Final] C  D  Am  Em
