Hey you, will you be true
When you can see through what I do
Feel the pain in your brain, insane
Will I see my name in your scars
And you will see what you mean to me
Lust between the lines
Do you feel the need
When the night comes down
And when the night comes down
A father is waiting
And you will see what you mean to me
Lost control and called your name
Left a home in the pouring rain
In a sea of guilt and shame
Will we sustain

Some piano and bass parts come on and theeeen...
Rhythm guitars for solo/outro...
This is a bit complicated to hear, the first bar is what Mikael plays LIVE and maybe on the CD...
but it just doesn?t sound that great on the latter, so I like to play the second bar instead, if you play
it as a power chord it also works.
These sections are played until the song fades out,the exception being that when live, both Mikael and
Fredrik play their parts from the outro and no rhythm guitar remains.
