        G
I never knew so many bad times
      Bb
Could follow me so mercilessly
                         F
It's so surreal, all the pain that I
 feel
           C             Eb      G
The future ain't what it used to be



It doesn't matter what they're 
thinking
           Bb
It doesn't matter what they're 
thinking of me
It's always so cold and I'm too 
F
young to be old
           C             Eb      G
The future ain't what it used to be


C                        G
Ooh, were there ever any stars in 
the sky?
            D                
And did the sun ever shine so 
 G
bright?
C                    G
Ooh, do you have any dreams I can 
borrow
        D                         
Just to get me through the lonely 
G
nights?


Bb                 F
Is there anything left to hold on to
         C                  G     
When the rivers wash it all away? 
              Bb
(wash it all away)
                F
Is there anyone left to hold on to?
         C                  
Is there anything left I can 
 D C Bm    Am G
say_____?


                     Em            
Say a prayer for the fallen angels
 C

                     Am            
Stem the tide of the rising waters
 G

                    Em             
Toll a bell for the broken hearted
 C

                      Am
Burn a torch for your sons and 
daughters


    G                 Em
The endless night has got a hold of 
me
C             Am
Dark days are pulling me forward
    G                   Em
And all these years are washing over
 me
    C                Am
And I'm crying - I'm lost forever

            G
It's like a storm that's never 
ending
            Bb
It's like a shadow on the land and 
the sea
                              F
There's nothing as sad as a tomorrow
 gone bad
           C             Eb      
The future ain't what it used to be,
G
 come on


            G
Some days I feel so numb and empty
    Bb
And those would be the good days for
 me
Nothing gets to me now, unless I'm
