PROGRESSION
[RIFF A: x6]
For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place to call my own
[RIFF B: x3]
I know now what shadows can see
There's no point in running 'less you run with me
It's half the distance through the open door
[RIFF C: x1]
Before you cut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end
[RIFF A+D: x2] -DISTORTION
[RIFF A: x4]
And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
[RIFF E: x3]
So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It's half the distance before you leave me behind
[RIFF F: x1]
It's such a waste of time
[RIFF D: x4]
[Chorus]
'Cause my shackles
You won't be
And my rapture
You won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
[RIFF A: x4]
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seams
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don't need you to keep my faith alive
[RIFF E: x3]
I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
[RIFF G: x1]
Before you shut me down
Again
Let me introduce you to the end
[RIFF D: x4]
[Chorus]
[RIFF H: x8] AND [RIFF I] OVER FIRST 4 BARS, SOLO ON LAST 4 BARS
Though you know you care
[RIFF D: x8]
[Chorus]
And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes to tears
[RIFF H: x12] PLAY SOLO OVER LAST 8 BARS.
I WAS UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE SOLOS, MAYBE SOMETIME SOON THOUGH.
