  the next few lines are played over the above chords:

  

  Will I be alone this morning?

  Will I need my (friends?)?

  Something just to ease away my pain.

  

  No-one ever sees the loneliness

  Behind my face

  I am just a prisoner to my fame

  

  then pick through the following chords a few times:

  

  ||: Dm     | C      | Gm      | Dm     :||

  

  

     Dm

  If I could only stand,

  		  C

  and stare in the mirror would I see

  Gm            C           Dm

    One fallen hero with a face like me

  Dm                                C

    And if I scream, could anybody hear me

  Gm                C                       Dm

    If I smash the silence you'll see what fame has done to me

  

  

  Bb               C                 Dm

    Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely

  Bb             C            Dm

    I'll never know if loves a lie.. being..

  Bb          C           Dm

    crazy in paradise is easy

  Bb                 C          Bb       Gm

    do you see the prisoners in my eye

  

  

  	     Dm               C    

  where's the love.. to shelter me   |  X 2

  	 Bb       C                |

  give me love...  come set me free  /

  

  

  then the solo..

  over the chords:

  

  ||: Dm          | C             |

   | Gm           | F F/E Dm     :||

                    -------/

                     not too sure

                    about this part

  

  the rest just repeats parts from above

  

  I hope there arent too many mistakes

  bye now
