Verse 1:
Main riff
For so long my life s been sewn up tight
Main riff
Inside your hold
And it leaves me there without a place
To call my own
I know now what shadows can see
There s no point in running less you run with me
It s half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again...........Let me introduce you to the end
(main riff 2x)
Electric guitar: E5--G5--E5--G5
Verse 2:----same chords/riffs as verse 1
And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
It always leads me back to suffering
But I will soar until the wind whips me down
Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
So tired now of paying my dues
I start out strong but then I always lose
It s half the distance before you leave me behind
It s such a waste of time
Chorus:
Cause my shackles
You won t be
And my rapture
You won t believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me
Verse 3:----Same as 1 and 2, only the electric
guitar plays these power chords...
So here I slave inside of a broken dream
Forever holding on to splitting seems
So take your piece and leave me alone to die
I don t need you to keep my faith alive
I know now what trouble can be
And why it follows me so easily
It s half the distance through the open door
Before you cut me down
Again............Let me introduce you to the end
Chorus
Instrumental:
E5----(for quite a while)
Solo (I didn t tab it)
Bridge-thing:
Though you know you care
Chorus
(This part same as chorus)
And my laughter
You won t hear
The faster
I disappear
And time will burn your eyes
(to tears)
E5-----(for quite a while)
Also another solo which I didn t tab
