Intro - E A
E
If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf,
A
you might not understand, but I bet you'd believe
E
there's spiders inside, crawling around
A E A
the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out.
E
You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was.
A
You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
E
that picture in time, frozen like ice
A E A
cycles keep repeating, beating me down to size.
F# A
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.
C#
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need.
B E
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
C# B E A
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
E
The night is my friend, I blend in with the best:
A
The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest.
E
Now we can pretend that we really care less.
A E
and act like we love what we really detest.
