You and me created something special

You and me always standing at the threshold

Forgive me, I've created a monster

The police said that they cannot help your daughter

C Am

Sometimes it takes a tough man to hide

Sing it soft just like a lullaby

F E

I'll fall apart from the inside and die

Kept my faith from the day that you left

With a big old hallelujah carved into my chest

You smothered me in images of death

Don't play around now, take my life instead

C Am

Sometimes it takes a tough man to hide

Sing it soft just like a lullaby

F E

I'll fall apart from the inside and die

C Am

I don't doubt that everything is what you gave me

F G

but I've gotta be frank, and baby

C Am F G G#dim

It just wasn't enough

Am Em Am Em Am
