(Verse 1) 
 
                                                     
 Children in the playground,    laughing and dancing in the street
 
                                                 
 All the colors of the rainbow     wrapped in childlike harmony

                                       
 Me, I'm not laughing     I see things only as they were

                                     
 When I first needed you     yeah, when I first needed you




(Guitar solo)

            




(Verse 2)

                             
 Cars passing by      representing my life

                                                 
 I ain't old but I ain't     young enough to cry like a baby

                                                   
 And I'm so scared but I won't tell you for fear you'll hate me more

                                    
 Tough on the outside, tough on the outside       tough all over




 

                                       
 Clouds go rollin' by as I lay    

                               
 floatin' in a stream     of semi-consciousness   
 
                                 
 I'll follow it 'til the end or at least 'til 

                            
 I drown in my separate reality,   

                           
 sorry there's only room for me




(Guitar solo)

            




(Verse 3)

                                            
 I used to have an angel      she took care of everything

                                                 
 Yeah, so sometimes we cried     maybe more than most, but so what

                                                 
 We shared everything     even some things we should not have shared

                                  
 Like my separate reality        now there's only room for me






                                               
 I walk among the criminals and I    pray among the saints

                                                                    
 And somewhere in between I try    to scrape off this war paint

                      
 It's cold in here          

                              
 in the corner of my soul 


 so dark and lonely

                           
 Oh but I ain't never gonna let go 




(Verse 4)

                                                     
 Children in the playground     laughing and dancing in the street

                                                 
 All the colors of the rainbow     wrapped in childlike harmony

                                                  
 Me, I'm not laughing or dancing     I see things only as they were

                                     
 When I first needed you     yeah, when I first needed you






                                                            
 I used to have everything     now you won't even talk to me, but that's alright

                                                         
 'Cause I've got a new friend     and her name is tattooed across my chest

                                                                   
 And she won't let me down     'cause I ain't never, never gonna let her in

                                       
 Tough on the outside, tough on the outside      and it's surely tough

                                              
 In my    separate reality       sorry there's only room for me

                                                       
 In my separate reality       sorry there's only room for me      for me

                                Riff 1 ()
      Sorry there's only room for me
