Hi Guy (”That Was Just Your Life” Demo)

James Hetfield

[Intro (Lars Ulrich)]
(One, two)

[Verse 1]
Like a siren in my head and there is no emergency
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat
Like a face that learns to speak, when all it knew was how to bite
Like a hurt that keeps me focused though I think I've gone astray
Like a low-grade nightmare that I must awaken from each day
Like a dream, a beautiful dream
Not worthy of so I deny

Yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place
You never opened them so it passed you by
You close your eyes so you may never fall from grace
You open just in time to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh, almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Struggling along
Balancing in right and wrong
Why is it so hard
Always pull the joker card
Almost like your fight
And there it went
Almost like your life

[Verse 2]
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think
Like a spring that cannot be in current till it's time to drink
Like a puzzle, with missing pieces, and the box is thrown away
Like a release from prison that you didn't know you're in
Like a fight to live the past, I prayed to leave from way back then
Like a general without a mission, until the war will start again

[Pre-Chorus]
You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place
You never opened them so it passed you by
You close your eyes so you may never fall from grace
You open just in time to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Struggling along
Balancing in right and wrong
Why is it so hard
Always pull the joker card
Almost like your fight
And there it went
Almost like your life

Yeah, ooh yeah

Oh yeah

[Guitar Solo: Hammett]

[Bridge]
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot, that it can get if you get caught
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze, that brings you straight down to your knees
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot, that it can get if you get caught
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze, that brings you straight down to your knees

Oh yeah

Yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Struggling along
Balancing in right and wrong
Why is it so hard
Always pull the joker card
Almost like your fight
And there it went
Almost like your life

That was just your life
