Band: DAYS OF THE NEW
Song: WHIMSICAL
Tabbed by: Achim Keuchel a9503585@unet.univie.ac.at
Date: 6.3.2000

Almost the whole Days of the new album is transcribed in the OLGA archives.
Unfortunately four songs are missing. This is one of them which I think is
one of the best on the whole album.
Please send questions, comments or corrections to:
a9503585@unet.univie.ac.at
Have fun!!

Lyrics:

I can see the orange sky in front of me
I can see things you'll never see
People say it's all a f****n' dream
But I can say words you couldn't speak

Is it me
can you believe
You'll never live the world I live
Is it me
It is only me
I can only live a world to (live)

Break away from you
shattered beliefs
Detaching from my body
desperate in grief
I have changed the world in front of me
One against all
I'm starving this world

Is it me
do you want me
You think you can have me
Say you love me
you want me
I'm saving my money
'cause I don't pay to (breathe)

I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to die
I can only give what I see inside
You can only take what I give from me
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose

Subjected to you mother of nature, limited to the color of your eyes
drained by the one you call your lover
She don't care if you live or die

Is it me
do you want me
You think you can have me
Say you love me
you want me
I'm saving my money
'cause I don't pay to (breathe)

I'm not afraid to live, I'm not afraid to die
I can only give what I see inside
You can only take what I give from me
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose
Mmh mmmh mmmh mmh
Mmh mmmh mmmh Whimsical
You can only win when I'm not afraid to lose

well I don't have a problem, I evolved
Sometimes there are always problems
but I don't have a problem
I stand above
