Intro: Bm G  Bm G  Bm A  G   Em F# Bm
       Bm G  Bm G  Bm A  G   Em F# Bm

Bm               G
I can't remember anything
Bm                      G
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Bm                  A
Deep down inside I feel to scream
G                       Em  F#  Bm
This terrible silence stops me

Bm                     G
Now that the war is through with me
Bm                G
I'm waking up, I cannot see
Bm                      A
That there is not much left of me
G                      Em   F#
  Nothing is real but pain now

Chorus:
 G    A   Bm   A  G F#    Bm  A   Bm
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Bm    A     Bm   C#   D  G  F  Em
Oh please, God, wake me

D  G  F  Em  C

Bm                     G
Back in the womb it's much too real
Bm                 G
In pumps life that I must feel
Bm                      A
But can't look forward to reveal
G                       Em  F#  Bm
Look to the time when I'll live

Bm                          G
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Bm                   G
Just like a wartime novelty
Bm                     A
Tied to machines that make me be
G                    Em   F#
  Cut this life off from me

Chorus:
 G    A   Bm   A  G F#    Bm  A   Bm
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Bm    A     Bm   C#   D  G  F  Em
Oh please, God, wake me

D  G  F  Em

Chorus:
 G    A  Bm   A   G    F#   Bm  A   Bm
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
A   Bm   C#   D
Oh, God help me
 G    A  Bm    A  G  F#   Bm  A   Bm
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Bm    A    Bm   C#   G
Oh please God, help me

Em
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
             F
G#solute horror
Em
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
            F
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
