Introduction:
C#m
I can't remember
A C#m A
When the moment started
C#m
It creeps up
A C#m- A
When you least expect to fail
C#m
You try to tell yourself
A C#m A
That you are selfless
C#m
But that's the big mistake
A C#m
That sets your sail
B
The signs are all around you
C#m A
But you miss them
B
You turn your back
C#m A
On every friend you know
A
The games you play
C#m
To justify your madness
A
Will leave you crying
F#m G#m
For the pain that grows
C#m A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
F#m C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
F#m C#m
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
C#m
For when you fall
A C#m
You have to reach the bottom
C#m
And count your blessings
A C#m
That you're still alive
C#m
That's when you look
A C#m
To someone who was with you
C#m
At every single step
A C#m
Right by your side
B
It's said from this you grow
C#m
Inside much stronger
B
That may be true
C#m
But I am still so weak
A
There's days that seem
C#m
So endless makes me wonder
A
Will something come

Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
F#m C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years

I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
B
I'm tired and so lonely
C#m
From this journey
B
And still can't figure out
C#m
Some things I've said
A
But all I know
C#m
Is there's a place that's calling
A
I'll find that place
F#m G#m
And rest my weary head
C#m A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
F#m C#m
I tried to be a man and face my fears
C#m A
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
F#m C#m
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
