    G#m          F#             C#

                     G#m              F#
and where will we go,    what will we do?

                           G#m             F#   (lead fill 3 over the top)
my life has been empty, my life has been untrue (of this line)

D#5              G#(i)        C#           F#
    and does she really know, who i really am?

D#5          G#(i)                   C#   (lead fill 1)
    does she really know me at last

That is about it.  There is a bit of lead in the
outro that I left out, but other than that most of
it is here.  I am fairly proud of my efforts with
this TAB so any comments would be greatly appreciated.
