 When you find your castle on a hill
  With the bars on the windows
  Will you burn the bridge behind you?
  Will you ever come out and see the
  sun  again? Will you hide?
  Now how  long has it been
  since you´ve  seen the light?
 Make your way on the stairs to the top of your tower.
  Stonecold floors,hardwood doors lead you to your room
  of plastic  flowers
  They still  look the same.
  Drendged  in water.It  comforts you to think that they´re alive.
 (either you play in chords or in tabs-I think in chords sounds better)
  It  could have  been easier than this.
  If  you threw it all away  what would you miss?
  It  could have been too  much of a chance to take.
  The  silence in your head  would have to break.
  Your  grip is  slipping faster.
  Looks  like you´ll have  to face yourself after  all.
 Note:Play the last chord C like the intro again.
 Step outside the shadows of your cage.
  Strangled truth, stolen youth is written on every line
  of every  page.
  It´s  your story.
  Do you want  it back?
  You have  to decide if it´s worth it.
  Swim across  the swamp to the other side.
  Run until  your out of breath
  When  you look back there´ll be nothing left
  but a  memory fading quickly.
 It could  have been easier  than this....
 Play the chorus twice.
 End on the C-tabs (Outro = Intro)
 ...You´re welcome!
