Intro: G
C G
I've been had once again
C G
The old betrayer did win
D F
Felt small I thought to give in
D Em
And now I sleep with my sin
F
You say I just fly
D
On wings I have borrowed
F
I'm loaded to try
D
To shoot you with my sorrow
G C
I'm alone tonight
G C
No one there in sight
Am D
And I die to be the king of it all
Am F
To become the laugh of all rise and fall
D
Yes so tall
C G
You'll be the one that will bleed
C G
If I fall over my feet
D F
The love you need you must breed
D Em
The hate we build cuts so deep
F
If I could I sure would
D
Be all that you needed
F
It would all feel so good
D
But it doesn't come easy
G C
I'm alone tonight
G C
No one there in sight
Am D
And I die to be the king of it all
Am F
To become the laugh of all rise and fall
D
Yes so tall
C G D
Your common sense is no defense sometimes
C G D
And if it ends all what it meant stays mine!
