Intro - E A
If [E]I showed my hand shaking like a leaf,
you might [A]not understand, but I bet you'd believe
there's [E]spiders inside, crawling around
the cob[A]webs in my mind that I try to drown [E]out. [A]
You said [E]I look like a ghost, man I almost was.
You said I [A]need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
that [E]picture in time, frozen like ice
cyc[A]les keep repeating, beating me down to [E]size. [A]
Well [F#]maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the [A]dark.
I didn't g[C#]et what I want, I got what I need.
Man, i[B]t hurts like hell down h[E]ere on my knees.
Is t[C#]his where I end, [B]or is this where w[E]e begin? [A]
The [E]night is my friend, I blend in with the best:
The [A]vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest.
Now [E]we can pretend that we really care less.
and [A]act like we love what we really det[E]est.
Well maybe[F#] I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.[A]
I didn't g[C#]et what I want, I got what I need.
Man, i[B]t hurts like hell down h[E]ere on my knees.
Is t[C#]his where I end, [B]or is this where w[E]e begin?
Make[C#] this go away, I'm begging please--
there's [B]little life left here [E]for me to bleed.
C# B F# (hold and/or climb scale)
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin?
[E]I'm looking up but I'm feeling down,
since [A]cutting these corners, was cutting me down to [E]size. [A]
[E]Am I losing control or losing my mind?
I [A]know for a fact I'm losing my last place to [E]hide. [A]
Well maybe[F#] I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark.[A]
I didn't g[C#]et what I want, I got what I need.
Man, i[B]t hurts like hell down h[E]ere on my knees.
Is t[C#]his where I end, [B]or is this where w[E]e begin?
My p[C#]ulse is racing, I can't catch my breath.
This [B]near-life experience [E]scared me to death.
Is t[C#]his where I end, [B]or is this where we [E]begin? [A]
[A]Or is this where we [E]begin?[A][E]
