[D] [A] [F#m] Sometimes [D] in my bed at night [A] I [F#] curse the dark [D] and I pray for the light
[A] And [F#m] sometimes [D] the light's no [A] [F#m] consolation
[D] [A] [F#m] Back in [D] my memory [A] I [F#m] prayed for what he [D] might do to me
[A] And the [F#m] tears and the sweat [D] only marked my [A] [F#m] desperation
[D] [G]
Don't you know [A] beyond the corner you'll start?
The one [G] you've found so easy to ignore Is that what [E] I was fighting for?
[A]
Walking on a [G] thin line Straight out the front [D] line
Level the streets Loose on the streets [A] of the city
Walking on a thin [G] line Angry all the time
[D] Take a look at my face See what he's doing [A] to me
[F#]
[D] [A] [F#]
[D] [A] [F#] Taught me how [D] to shoot to kill [A] A [F#m] specialist with [A] a deadly skill
The [F#] skill I needed [D] to heal To be a [A] survivor
[F#m]
[D] Open [A] [F#m] your [A] eyes, so to say But [F#m] sometimes it [D] don't look out that way
[A] Cause you're never [F#m] the same when [D] you've been [A] Undivided
[F#m] Oh, [A] [G] don't you know [A] beyond the corner you'll start?
The one you've [G] found so easy to ignore Is that what [E] I was fighting for?

Walking on a thin [G] line Straight out the front [F#m] line
