Am Bm
Standing by myself on the sidewalk
Am Bm
Nothing in this world could make me talk

I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air

Alone I see myself and stare

Locked inside this world you gave me

It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear

And I know all the ways and I'll try

Would the end of the day always seem so hard

The face that looks on in my mirror
