Standard (EADGBE)

All of my life,

all of my life

I stood outside the circle,

right outside the circle

Being so wrong,

somehow felt right

Who needs to belong,

that feeling was so strong

D,G x1 (for break - in same progression as intro)

Wearing me down,

turning me round

The strongest of intentions

fade into convention

I'm not sure if my heart still knows

The place where I wanted to go

(Chorus)

Making me change direction

Taking my life every day

I feel my heart in danger

And I need to hideaway

Watching my best intentions

Fading away every day

I feel my heart in danger

And I need to hide away

Living alone,

is always a fight

Why stand out in the storm

It's so easy to conform

The highest of hopes

slowly come down

Fearful of rejection satisfied with imperfection

And what I thought was truly mine

Is somehow slipping away

(Repeat Chorus)

(Middle 16)

Hideaway from what the world can do

Changing everyone

Hideaway from the thief of time

Stealing what is mine

(Lead solo)

(Chorus on acoustic)

(Chorus to fade)
