Verse 1:(play the chords like you did in the intro)(for best effect use
slight delay if electric)
[Ab] Tonight I'll [F#]have a look
And [F#(9)]try to [C#]find my [B7]face ag[Ab]ain
Buried [F#]beneath this h[F#(9)]ouse`
My [C#]spirit s[B7]creams an[Ab]d dies again
[F#]Out back a [F#(9)]monster wears
A c[C#]loak of P[B7]ersian leat[Ab]her
[F#]Behind the [F#(9)]TV screen
[C#]I've fallen [B7]to my knee[Ab]s
Chorus 1:
pretty much all in the post and chorus are downs with a quick up in the middle. sounds
without the ups though.
I said you've [Ab]got me where you want me again!
And-[B]-I can't tur[C#]n away
I'm [Ab]hanging by a thread and [F#]I'm feeling like a[C#] fool
I'm [Ab]stuck here in between the [B]shadows of [C#]my yesterday
I wa[Ab]nt to- get away
I [F#]need to- get[C#] away
Verse 2:
[Ab] Blanket [F#]of silence
[F#(9)]makes me want to [C#]sink my t[B7]eeth in de[Ab]ep
Burn all [F#]the evidence
of[F#(9)] fabric[C#]ated d[B7]isbelie[Ab]f
[F#]Pull back the [F#(9)]curtains to[C#]ok a look [B7]into your e[Ab]yes
M[F#]y tongue has [F#(9)]now become a [C#]platform for [B7]your lie[Ab]s
Chorus 2:
I said you've [Ab]got me where you want me again!
And-[B]-I can't tur[C#]n away
I'm [Ab]hanging by a thread and [F#]Im feeling like a [C#]fool
I'm [Ab]stuck here in between the [B]shadows of [C#]my yesterday
I wa[Ab]nt to- get away
I [F#]need to- get[C#] away
Post-Chorus 1:
[Ab]Now-- yo[F#]u know
[B7]Yeah, you got my b[C#]ack against the w[Ab]all
[F#]Oh gosh, [B7]I aint got no o[C#]ther place to h[Ab]ide
[F#]chained down, like [B7]a sitting d[C#]uck
Just waiting for [Ab]the fall
[F#]You know, yeah you [B7]got my back a[C#]gainst the wa[Ab]ll
Verse 3:
D[Ab]eep in the [F#]jungle
[F#(9)]Camouflaged by [C#]all the f[B7]allen le[Ab]aves
A hand h[F#]olds up the sky
[F#(9)]While s[C#]hamefu[B7]lly I m[Ab]ake my plea
The a[F#]lters callin'
[F#(9)]But my le[C#]gs won't s[B7]eem to stan[Ab]d
Guess[F#] I'm a coward
[F#(9)]Scared to[C#] face the [B7]man I am[Ab]
