VERSE:
F#m                        G
I, I always thought that I knew
                          A
I'd always have the right to
                                D        G		
Be living in the kingdom of the good and true
       F#m
And so on...
                      G
But now I think I was wrong
                       A
And you were laughing along
                                   D        G     A
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on my side


CHORUS:
A                         G
Is it any wonder that I'm tired?
                        A
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
                         D           G
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?


VERSE:
Sometimes, It's hard to know where I stand
It's hard to know where I am
Or maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand
Sometimes, I get the feeling that I'm
Stranded in the wrong time
Where love is just a lyric in children's rhyme, a soundbite


CHORUS:
Is it any wonder that I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right
Oh, these days,
After all the misery you made
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?


BRIDGE:
F#m                      G
Nothing left beside this old cathedral
         Em
Just the sad lonely spires
           G
How do you make it right?
            A
Oh, but you try...


[repeat CHORUS]
