Am/G

Standard Tuning, Capo 4

Have some freedom with the notes, It sounds a little more major than thrice wanted it to sound

But have fun with it.

Dm F C G Am

When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams

Dm F C G Am

at four in the morning you know where I'll be.

Dm F E Am

out running red lights asleep at the wheel.

F E

the sirens feed my nightmares,

Am C G F

i just close my eyes and I'm already there;

its already too late.

Am C

i know its nothing but lies,

G F

but they sound so sincere;

i find them too hard to hate.

Am C

and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,

F G

so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"

Am C

and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,

F E7

so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"

and I'm almost sure

that I've been here before,

Am Am/G F G

that this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door,

Am Am/G F E

with an overwhelming feeling that i shouldn't go in,

E E7

but it seems this is a battle that i never could win.

Am C

And you

F E

My true love

Am C

You call from the hilltop

F E

You call through the streets

"Darling don't you know,

C F E

The water is poison"

And I say

C F E

"Come on and give me my poison"
