(VERSE): (Am)Shackled and raised
for  A(Em)shining crowd
They (G)want you to speak
but the (Em)music is louder
than (Am)all of their roar(Em)
with the (G)heat of the
planet's core(Em)
(CHORUS):But the (D)shadows are on your side(Gm)
as (Eb)soon as the lights go down(Bb)
In the (D)darkest place you can (Gm)find
you be(Eb)long to the hands of the night(D)
(VERSE):Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend
to a tune of it's own, hey, you'll never hear
that voice again Scandal in white
on a tangled vine with everybody to say
that you're having the time of your life
when your life is on the slide
(CHORUS)
(VERSE):Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar
whichever way you can be sure
(CHORUS)
