Standard (EADGBE)

the words go a little like this...

Verse 1

 Oh, I had nine lives but I lost all of them

 And I've been searching in the night

 And I've been searching in the rain

I tried to find them, but they disappeared

They walked away, they dressed in black

They left my side and all I say is

That I wasted time when I looked for them

For now I know that things gone past

Are never to be found again

No never, never again

I had nine lives but lost all of them...

Verse 2

I had a plan but never finished it

And I've been searching for the thought

And I've been searching in a haze

I try all days, to remember it

But now the blueprint in my mind has gone

My mind forgot the colour of direction

And my eyes they see the hands

That could've built that could've constructed

The empire in my mind

The empire I'll never find

I had a plan but that was where it ended....ended.....
