Ever consider
From boiling water the residue?
A sea full of people
But after the action who s left with you?
They re standing on others.
You re standing on hope to see you through.
The atmosphere s waning
They stand on your toes they breathe with you
With virgin eye and heart of cold
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With heart of cold and mind of child
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
And of the others?
Fools in a glass house throwing stones
Delusions of lacking
Unless one can top it leave it alone
A no - alee dream place
Where waves in my blood crash violent tone
And after all effort
The pain and the rain claim you their own
With virgin eye and heart of cold
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With heart of cold and mind of child
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
F (with heavy palm muting)
With virgin eye and heart of cold and mind of child
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With mind of child and heart of cold
*
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be

Not the way I thought it would be

Not the way I thought it would be

Not the way I thought it would be
With virgin eye and heart of cold and mind of child
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With mind of child and heart of cold
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With virgin eye and heart of cold
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
With heart of cold and mind of child
I swear it s not the way I thought it would be
*The bass plays Eb here, so it sounds slightly strange. If you
don t have a bassist playing with you, you could play it as
Em/Eb or just Eb if you want.
