G#5
G#5Storm clouds won't bother together
Sheet cashed in, cut the tether
She's gone, its no mistake
The angels have come too late
They've come too late
F#5In my hands I hold the truth
Chorus:
G#5That something sure that hits you, F#pure flesh and bone to rip through
D#mDon't let em tie you to the C#stake, whatever it G#5takes
Flood waters raise the ramparts, F#I'll meet you now wherever you D#mare
I'm here until the front line C#breaks, whatever it G#5takes
G#5Then she turned off the headlights
Cranked the radio, ran the red lightsF#5  
Never found the missing bride
Window's dark but they're all inside
Their all inside
F#5In my hands I hold the truth
Chorus
Solo:
G#5
C# D#m E F#
G#5A general without an army
I stopped looking, then they found meF#5  
On the hill a horn is blowing
It's over man, you just don't know it
Chorus
G#5Climb backwards through the red roomF#, a jungle of thieves to get through
D#mTime's up, how long you gonna C#waste, whatever it G#takes
So Jack, grab paper and penF#, I'll say it once, we'll say it aD#mgain
Loosen the core until it C#shakes, whatever it G#5takes
Whatever it G#5takes
