[Verse 1]
It wasn't meant to be Clike this
A life for Gsomeone Delse
There's a road to the Crighteous
That doesn't Emlead through Dhell
There's a drop on your Ceyelid
That stays Gjust for Dhim
There's a scream in your Csilence
That doesn't let Emanyone Din
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you Cdon't understand why you stayed
As you Gwake in the coffDin he made you
You're a Cstone that's been thrown in the lake
Now you're Emsinking, it Dsinks in
[Chorus]
  CIn the top of the tower
  The devil he Gwaits
  The devDil he waits for you
  CIn the darkest of hours
  We pra-a-a-Emay, pra-a-Da-ay for you
  CI know you've been locked up there
  GWith no hope Danywhere
  CIn the top of the tower
  The devil he Emwaits
  The devDil he waits for you
[Verse 2]
Now you lay in the Amashes
Of the Ghouse you Dbuilt
Out of old books and Ammatches
But you Glay there Dstill
In the time of black Ammagic
And they're Gout to Dkill
Here's my heart, you can Amhave it
And you Galways Dwill
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you Cdon't understand why you stayed
As you Gwake in the coffDin he made you
You're a Cstone that's been thrown in the lake
Now you're Emsinking, it Dsinks in
[Chorus]
  CIn the top of the tower
  The devil he Gwaits
  The devDil he waits for you
  CIn the darkest of hours
  We pra-a-a-Emay, pra-a-Da-ay for you
  CI know you've been locked up there
  GWith no hope Danywhere
  CIn the top of the tower
  The devil he Emwaits
  The devDil he waits for you
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
It wasn't meant to be Clike this
A life for Gsomeone Delse
There's a road to the Crighteous
That doesn't Emlead through Dhell
Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
  CIn the top of the tower
  The devil he Gwaits
  The devDil he waits for you
  CIn the darkest of hours
  We pra-a-a-Emay, pra-a-Da-ay for you
  CI know you've been locked up there
  GWith no hope Danywhere

[Verse 1]

It wasn't meant to be like this

G D

A life for someone else

There's a road to the righteous

Em D

That doesn't lead through hell

There's a drop on your eyelid

G D

That stays just for him

There's a scream in your silence

Em D

That doesn't let anyone in

[Pre-Chorus]

Now you don't understand why you stayed

G D

As you wake in the coffin he made you

You're a stone that's been thrown in the lake

Em D

Now you're sinking, it sinks in

[Chorus]

In the top of the tower

The devil he waits

The devil he waits for you

In the darkest of hours

Em D

We pra-a-a-ay, pra-a-a-ay for you

I know you've been locked up there

G D

With no hope anywhere

In the top of the tower

The devil he waits

The devil he waits for you

[Verse 2]

Now you lay in the ashes

G D

Of the house you built

Out of old books and matches

G D

But you lay there still

In the time of black magic

G D

And they're out to kill

Here's my heart, you can have it

G D

And you always will

[Pre-Chorus]

Now you don't understand why you stayed

G D

As you wake in the coffin he made you

You're a stone that's been thrown in the lake

Em D

Now you're sinking, it sinks in

[Chorus]

In the top of the tower

The devil he waits

The devil he waits for you

In the darkest of hours

Em D

We pra-a-a-ay, pra-a-a-ay for you

I know you've been locked up there

G D

With no hope anywhere

In the top of the tower

The devil he waits

The devil he waits for you

[Instrumental]

The devil he waits

The devil he waits for you
