Echoes

	  		C      Bb 
On the streets you look again 
       C 
At the places you have been 
       G 
Or the moments that you thought 
           D 
Where am I going 
           Bb 
Though the walls are like the dead 
      C 
They reflect the things you've said 
        G                            D 
And the echoes in your head continue showing 
         C 
Near the castles you can build 
       Am 
Out of dreams you half fullfilled 
      Em 
Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing 
        C 
And you look still for a trace 
      Fmaj7 
Of an opening in a place 
                                              C       C  Bb  C 
Where you find the life that you were used to knowing 
C       Bb 
You can walk out in the night 
       C 
And be sure that its alright 
   G                               D 
To exagerate the world that's only being 
        Bb 
You can watch Regina dance 
            C 
Through the crystal panes of glass 
        G                                        D 
Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing 
          C 
Still you hold one precious thought 
      Am 
After all this time you've sought 
         Em 
That she might be just protecting what she longs for 
        C  
And her eyes are veiled with black 
          Fmaj7 
Cause she plays she can look back 
                                         C    C#  B  C# 
At the love she wanted so but says is no more 
           B 
The lights go on, commense the cold 
        C# 
As your senses will be sold 
        G#                         D# 
To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons 
   B 
To pretend that what they are 
         C# 
From the fact completely far 
          G#                               D# 
While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason 
            C# 
Build their towers in the sand 
         A#m 
Down the roads at their command 
         Fm 
When the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing 
    C# 
And infection easily spreads 
       F#maj7 
To the searching, twisted heads 
                                         C#   B   C# 
As they team up to tear down each others feeling
