[INTRO - SUNG WITH NO INSTRUMENTS]
Open up a way I can go back
And see my friend
Go back to see my friend
[DRUMS ONLY – SLOW TEMPO, RIM SHOTS]
[Tempo: 70–74 BPM (slow, heavy feel)]
Five days I know something gotta change
I know something gotta change
All my days
I’m telling myself it’s OK
All my days
I’m laughing away the pain
And I don’t know what to do
And I have no place I can go
Five days I know something gotta change
I know something gotta change
Look all around me
All I see the skies are gray
Look all around me
They’re laughing me to my grave
And everywhere I go I can’t get away
And you I know will fade
[Guitar Solo]
Five days I know something gotta change
Lord knows something gotta change
All my friends are gone
My family left me here alone
Hell don’t want me
And heaven threw away the key
So which way do I go to get away
I have failed my whole life
Blind and naked
Open up a way I can go back
And see my friend
Go back to see my friend
