F#m F#dim
They've got you in high definition

Your dancing and singing coming to fruition

You said, "strike me down, I've sinned again,"

And the shadow you cast on the wall

Won't break you from your fall

Will you have enough time to gather your defenses?

F#m F#dim
Did you figure out what the problem is?

Is it you or those million other things
A Am(b11)
That prove this isn't who you really are
A Am(b11)
You say, heading back into the bar
F#m F#dim
For the same sour shot you always have
F#m F#dim
Right before swearing to be a better man
A Am(b11)
And your alibi becomes your favourite part
A Am(b11)
Cooking up a story of your sacred heart

Dmaj7 F#m
What good came of your sneaking around?

As the heart and the wings make an unsettling sound

As you approach another blissful victim

And before you know it you've gone and tricked him

As the heart and the wings swoop down again

But you'll deny it and deny it until the end
