Verse
=====
      B5             F5     D5  D5
1. The sun rises to another day
   My constitution keeps changing, 'Til it slips away
   So I lie awake and stare
   My mind thinking, just wandering, Does anybody care?
2. Sitting in my room now
   Hiding thoughts just hoping one day I'll get out
   I hear a voice call my name
   Breaking trance so silent, So I can stay the same

Chorus (Same Figure)
====================

   Should I stay or go?
   Should I sleep or stay awake?
   Am I really happy or it is all
   Just an illusion

Solo
====
D Bb C A

This is a toughie, but a goodie...I've got most of it transcribed,
and will send it to the archive either when I finish or when
someone writes and requests it...I just have a lack of time
right now....

Bridge
======
D           Bb                 C    A
Wait now, many things left unsaid
This life remains the same but I change
I try to fool myself in believing
Things are going to get better but life goes on

End on a chorus, and that's it!  Questions, comments,
suggestions, and requests to
