Em D G G

VERSE:

Em D G

If I come back this way again

Em D C G

I hope to be the person everybody thinks I am

Em D C G

Pull the wool from out my eyes

Em D G

Oh, sweet heaven when I die

Em D G

Where there's a will there's a way

Em D C G

Time goes on and it gets harder every day

Em D C G

Desperation a death to hope

Em D G

Choking words caught in my throat

PRE-CHORUS:

How will you tell the ones that care

I'd rather die by your hands

Then find new love anywhere

Dark days long nights

Midnight sun take the light from out my eyes

Em D C G

Em D G G

VERSE:

Em D G

You've got me shaking all the time

Em D C G

And pining out for a life I left behind

Em D

I cannot think

C G

I cannot breathe

Em D G

I seek the end my sweet release

Em D G

I feel the darkness coming in

Em D

St. Michael say a prayer

C G

The dragons back again

Em D C G

Full of snakes like every man

Em D G

This is a fight no one will win

PRE-CHORUS:

C D

I have lived on borrowed time

B Em

Just waiting for a sign

For redemption in your eyes

VERSE:

Em D G

She pays ten dollars for the show

Em D

Makes her way through the crowd

C G

And cuts from throat to throat

Em D C G

Up to the front where the lights hang low

Em D G

The dying crowd just wants one more

Em D G

And now we stand there face to face

Em D C G

It all comes rushing back like it was yesterday

Em D C G

Love and tears hope and hate

Em D G

Bergamot buckskin and lace

PRE-CHORUS:

C D

My trail ends in those pale floodlights

B Em

'Neath the curtains and the smoke

C D

With the blood the lead and love

B Em

Still stuck inside my throat

CHORUS:

Em D

Too late too rise

C D

You've been down for too damn long this time

Em D

Dark days long nights

C D Em D C D

Midnight sun take the light from out my eyes
