Bridge
B♭  And I know you hear their Cvoices
               B♭

And I know they may seem Creal
                  B♭

But our life's made up of
Cchoices (some without apB♭peal)
They took for G/Bgranted your Csoul
         A/C♯         Dm---
and it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life!!
