Sillhouettes

Intro F#m / E / B

F#m     E              B
Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
F#m         E             B
They won't let me go the wrong way
F#m        E                 B
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
F#m     E            B
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But...

Dm             E            F#m       C#
I don't wanna live like my mother
              Dm   E    F#m      C#
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
    Dm             E            F#m      C#
And i don't wanna live like my father
              Dm    E   F#m       C#
I don't wanna give up before i die

F#m           E                  B
He worked so hard his bones are breaking
                  F#m        E              B
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
F#m        E                  B
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
F#m       E           B
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And...

Dm             E            F#m       C#

And i don't wanna live like my father
              Dm    E   F#m       C#
I don't wanna give up before i die

F#m          E
When i have kids
B                      F#m       E                B
I won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't
F#m             E    B
I'll tell them this there's nothing in this world
     F#m        E         B        C#
That you can't be if you want it enough
