 Verse 1
  Em                        C   D2             Em
  Three O'Clock in the morning, voices in my head
  Em                          C         D2              Em
  I'm wide awake, I should be sleeping, voice alive or dead
  Em                        C      D2                 Em
  Someone screaming out a warning, should I heed the call
  Em                        C      D2              Em
  A messanger I should be knowing, voice inside my head
  C                        D2   Em                 G
  Made it through another year, crying yet another tear
  C                     D2           Em
  Pondering the endless questions of life

 Verse 2
  My undivided attention, voice returns again
  The pressure builds up I fell the tension, voice inside my head
  What should I do with all you've given, discern the ring of truth
  I'm not the kind to be so driven, the choice is up to you

  C                       D2    Em                   G
  Made it through another year, crying yet another tear
  C                     D2           Em
  Pondering the endless questions of life
  C(C5)                 D2    Em                   G(G5)
* Made it through another year, crying yet another tear
  C(C5)                   D2           Em
  Pondering the things I dream in the night

Electric guitar chord in parenthesies (if they differ from acoustic)

  C5                         D2       C5
  You know just what to say, speak to me
  C5
  You know just what to say, speak to me

A-2-2222-3-2-1-5-4-3-5-4-        Riff 1b is not much different from Riff 1
E-0-0000-------3-2-1-3-2-        its just a little heavier sounding.  It
                                 dosen't really matter which one you use
Riff 2                           just use whichever you like better.
