[Primeira Parte]

Em   D/F#       G
Send away for a priceless gift
C               Gm7/C
One not subtle, one not on the list
Em   D/F#       G
Send away for a perfect world
C               Gm7/C
One not simply, so absurd
Em   D/F#       G
In these times of doing what you're told
C               Gm7/C
Keep these feelings, no one knows

Am                        Em
What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Am                       G      D    Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[Refrão]

Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                                   D
Swimming through the ashes of another life
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
C               Gm7/C
Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf, 
C                Gm7/C
left for you, no one else
Em       D/F#         G
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
C                 Gm7/C
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
Am                        Em
What ever happened to the young man's heart?
Am                       G      D    Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

        Bm                      C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
        Dm         C
Always condemning me
Bm
And nobody knows what 
  Em   D/F#  G
I believe
  C     Gm7/C
I believe
