Intro: D Bm G x4
D Bm G D Bm G
Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and a pray for light
D Bm G D Bm G
And sometimes, the light's no, consolation
D Bm G D Bm G
Blinded by a memory, afraid of what it might do to me
D Bm G D Bm G
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation

Don't you know me I'm the boy next door? the one you find so easy to ignore
G (hold)
Is that what I was, fighting for?
D C
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line
G/B G D Dsus4
Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city
D C
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line
G/B G D D Bm G x2
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
