How to play the chords....
A5-777xxx
Verse 1:
Main riff
For so long my life's been sewn up tight
Main riff
Inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place
To call my own
[Bm]I know now what [A]shadows can [E]see
[Bm]There's no point in running 'less you [A]run with [E]me
[Bm]It's half the distance through the [A]open d[E]oor
[G5]Before you cut me down
[A5]Again...........Let me introduce you to the end
(main riff 2x)
Verse 2:----same chords/riffs as verse 1
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
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
It's such a waste of time
Chorus:
[E5]'Cause my shackles
[G5]You won't be
[E5]And my rapture
[G5]You won't believe
[E5]And deep [G5]inside you will blee[E5]d for me[G5]
Verse 3:----Same as 1 and 2, only the electric
guitar plays these power chords...
[E5]So here I s[G5]lave inside of a [E5]broken dream
[G5]Forever holding on to splitting seems
[E5]So take your p[G5]iece and leave me [E5]alone to die
[G5]I don't need you to keep my faith alive
I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It's half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again............Let me introduce you to the end
Chorus
Instrumental:
E5----(for quite a while)
Solo (I didn't tab it)
Bridge-thing:
[E5]Though you [D5]know you care
Chorus
(This part same as chorus)
And my laughter
You won't hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes
(to tears)
E5-----(for quite a while)
Also another solo which I didn't tab
