I took a trAmip to the dark side
I plBmaced it on my tongue
Re-wEmired my whole brain
Started hell it begun
The wAmorld drained from colour
Black and whBmite was the sun
I forgEmot my own name
I forgot who I was
[Chorus]
But when the bAmig smoke comesBm

[Intro]

Am Bm Em

[Verse 1]

Am Bm Em

Well I was going down on my lines

Am Bm Em

And I heard that the waiting feel was fine

Am Bm

But I was reading in between the lies

Like I had my hands right over my eyes

Am Bm

See, this is what I despise

Of you and I

[Verse 2]

I took a trip to the dark side

I placed it on my tongue

Re-wired my whole brain

Started hell it begun

The world drained from colour

Black and white was the sun

I forgot my own name

I forgot who I was

[Chorus]

Am Bm

But when the big smoke comes

I know the way

'Cause I wanna

Guide your love

Guide your love back home

Am Bm

'Cause when the big smoke comes

I know the way

'Cause I wanna guide your love

Back home

[Instrumental]

Em - till the end
