                       It's a house for stolen future. It's a home for broken dreams.

C   A     E    E D    F  E
One rainy day, I left my house
C  A E      E  D    F   E
As I walked on down the street
A# G  D    D   C   D#    D
I saw this big abandoned place
A#             G     D       D    C D#  D
It looked like a bad picture from a bad film
C A E     E D     F    E
I decided I shall walk in
C    A       E       E    D   F E
As I stepped inside, what did I see?
A#             G          D  D  C    D# D
I saw an older version of me staring at me
A# G       D  D C    D# D
He watched me reproachfully
C  A   E     E D   F  E
In his eyes, I saw my regrets
C  A   E     E D   F  E
In his eyes, I saw my mistakes
A#      G      D      D  C  D# D
It felt like a replay of my failures
A#      G     D        D C D# D
Forcing me to remember all my sins
C            A   E   E D       F   E
Bringing out all the repressed memories
C         A     E       E  D    F    E
Reminding me of moments so long forgotten
A#        G     D     D      C  D# D
Reminding me of times I used to be shy
A#  G  D       D C     D#   D
And of friends I never saw again
C    A      E      E D     F  E
Like facing dreams I never fulfilled
C             A   E        E  D  F E
And the guilt for breaking my promises

( F E C B D C# ) (2x)

F            E        C         B   D C#
Oh can't you hear I'm crying on the inside
F        E   C   B   D    C#
Oh can't you see I'm suffering
F        E   C    B   D   C#
Oh can't you hear I'm mourning
F            E     C     B       D  C#
Oh can't you see I can't take it anymore

( D C# C B )

( D C# C B F E )

D C#    C        B
I can't face the truth
D  C#     C                  B  F  E
Or assume responsibility for my mistakes
D          C# C         B
I'm trying to deal with my
D     C#     C        B   F E
Worse fears, and it's not easy
D   C#   C     B
All this guilt is
D         C# C    B   F E
Eating me up from the inside
D         C#   C  B
I made so many mistakes
D      C# C         B  F E
That I am resentful of myself
F   E      D   C  A       B E
Oh, please let me forgive myself.

E    E G    E E G C     B
It's a house for stolen future...
E    E G   E E G C    B
It's a home for broken dreams...
E E     G E E    G C        B
A requiem for what could've been...
E   E        G E E       G C      B
All the things I pretended to not have seen,
E  E   G E        E  G    C  B
Suddenly can't be ignored anymore!
E   E G     E E G   C     B
Now I gotta pay for every time
E E            G E    E    G C B
I lied to myself saying: it's ok;
E   E        G  E E  G  C   B
For not dealing with my problems
E E     G E   E   G C   B
When they presented themselves!
E     E           G E E   G C   B
I let them build-up for way too long,
E   E      G  E    E       G C      B
Now I have to deal with them all at once,
E  E         G E   E         G C    B
In the hope to say goodbye and good riddance!

D C     E D       F   E
I think I finally get it!
C        A E   E      D    F     E
It's all about facing your worse fears
C        A E   E      D   F    E
It's all about paying for your sins
A#  G      D  D   C    D# D
And making-up for your mistakes
A# G    D       D      C D#   D
So this doesn't become a requiem
