It Seems

C     Em     D

[Verse 1]
C                     Em
Alone in the room, TV on
         D                           C
Like the white screen his life's gone
                            Em
A moving shell, a wandering ghost
  D                             C
A shadow of a man who nobody knows
                                  Em
He hardly speaks when you say his name
            D                  C
He's just embarrassed to say
               Em
Anything to anyone

[Chorus]
       G                   C
In his mind there's no way out
                    Em D            C
He said he wants to die (There's no way out)
                         Em
He wonders how anyone survives
      D              C       Em     D
Being overlooked and trite

[Verse 2]
   C
As seasons change

And trees grow bare
  Em
Reflection's a stranger
D
Back it won't stare
          C
It's like everybody else
                                  Em
Just too busy for his simple self
           D
His simple self
         C
He walks 13 blocks to the city's cross
     Em
Puts dust on his knees
            D
Prays for a god that doesn't leave
     C
It's lonely here in hell
                            Em
He prays to be somebody else

[Chorus]
       G                   C
In his mind there's no way out
                    Em  D               C
He said he wants to die (There's no way out)
                         Em
He wonders how anyone survives
      D                C
Being overlooked and trite
                    Em    D
He said he wants to die
              C
And he wonders why
                          Em
He wonders how anyone survives
      D                   C
Being overlooked and trite

[Bridge]
           D
In sand he sinks to his knees
G                    Em
Mobile world around, just out of reach
F
Tears rolling down his cheeks
          D
He has to believe, believe in himself
C
Put up, hold out
                        Em
Break down, scream loud
                     D
Wave fists, and shout
It's done
            C
It's done
Stand tall, prove all
                       Em
Push on, now you see
                                 D
It's your life, It's your fight
Live free, don't hide

[Outro]
       C
You've got to believe
       Em        D
You've got to believe
       C
You've got to believe
       Em        D
You've got to believe
       C  (Hold Chord)
You've got to believe
