[G#] [F#] [A#m] [B]
[G#] [C#m] [F#] [A#m] [B]
[C#] [F#] [A#m]
[B] [G#] Tonight I'll [F#] have a look and [A#m] try to find my [B] face [G#] again
buried beneath [F#] this house my spirit [C#] screams and [B] dies [G#] again
a black [F#] monster wears a cloak of [C#] Persian [B] leather
[G#] behind the [F#] TV screen I'm falling [C#] to my [B] knees
and [G#] said you got me where you want me [B] again and [C#] I can't turn [G#m] away
I'm hanging by a thread and [F#] I'm feeling [C#] like a
[G#] I'm stuck and ran between [B] the shadows [C#] of my yesterday
[G#] I wanna get away, [F#] I need to [C#] get [G#] away
Blanket of [F#] silence makes me wanna [C#] sink my [B] teeth [G#] in deep
Burn all the [F#] evidence of [C#] fabricated [B] [G#] disbelief
Pull [C#] back the [F#] curtains, took a look [C#] into your [B] [G#] eyes
My tongue has [F#] now become a platform [A#m] for your [G#m] lies
I said you got me where you want me [B] again
And [C#] I can't turn [G#] away, I'm hanging by a thread
And [F#] I'm feeling [C#] like a fool
[G#] I'm stuck and ran between [B] the shadows [C#] of my yesterday
[G#] I wanna get away, [F#] I need to [C#] get away
[G#] Now [F#] you know, [B] yeah, you [C#] got my back [G#] against the wall
[F#] Oh God, [B] I ain't [C#] got no other [G#] place to hide
[F#] Chained down, [B] like I'm sitting [C#] ducks just waiting [G#] for the fall
[F#] You know, [B] yeah, you [C#] got my back [G#] against the wall
[F#] Deep [C#]
[B] [G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#m] [G#] in the [F#] jungle, camouflaged by [C#] all the [B] fallen [G#] leaves
A hand [F#] holds up the sky while [C#] shamefully I [G#m] make my [G#] plea
The [C#] altar's [F#] calling but my legs won't [C#] seem to [B] [G#] stand
Guess I'm a [F#] coward, scared to face the [A#m] man [B] I am
[G#] I said you got me where you want [B] me again
And [C#] I can't turn [G#] away, I'm hanging by a thread
[F#] And I'm feeling [C#] like a fool
[G#] I'm stuck and ran between [B] the shadows [C#] of my yesterday
