Twenty-Five Years

(início)

C#m
I can't remember
          A       C#m  - A
When the moment started
C#m
It creeps up
               A         C#m - A
When you least expect to fail
C#m
You try to tell yourself
     A       C#m       A
That you are selfless
    C#m
But that's the big mistake
     A         C#m
That sets your sail
    B
The signs are all around you
        C#m       A
But you miss them
    B
You turn your back
                    C#m   A
On every friend you know
    A
The games you play
                C#m
To justify your madness
     A
Will leave you crying
                  F#m   G#m
For the pain that grows
Chorus
            C#m                A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
  F#m                           C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m                            A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
             F#m                              C#m
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
C#m
For when you fall
            A         C#m
You have to reach the bottom
C#m
And count your blessings
            A     C#m
That you're still alive
C#m
That's when you look
           A       C#m
To someone who was with you
C#m
At every single step
      A       C#m
Right by your side
B
It's said from this you grow
            C#m
Inside much stronger
     B
That may be true
                  C#m
But I am still so weak
        A
There's days that seem
                    C#m
So endless makes me wonder
     A
Will something come
                     F#m    G#m
To close this losing streak
            C#m                A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
  F#m                           C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m                            A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
             F#m                              C#m
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
    B
I'm tired and so lonely
          C#m
From this journey
    B
And still can't figure out
                 C#m
Some things I've said
    A
But all I know
                          C#m
Is there's a place that's calling
     A
I'll find that place
                  F#m  G#m
And rest my weary head
            C#m                A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
  F#m                           C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m                            A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
             F#m                              C#m
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
