Tom: Ebm
D#m F#
Oh, if these walls could talk, I would talk right back
B B
I would talk, I would talk 'til they fade to black
D#m F#
The Jack Daniels don't soothe me no more
B B
Oh Jackie Boy, Jackie Boy, show me the door
D#m F#
Show me peace, show me grief, show me what it means
B B
To live a life so sunk it's not worthy to breathe
D#m F#
It's too early to see, it's too late to retreat
B B
So the ship sails on to its perfect defeat
D#m F#
And I try to stay aboard, but when it rains, it pours
B B
I drink a bottle of the captains 'til I wash up on shore
D#m F#
Don't tell me how to live this life, I live this hell
B B D#m
I doubt the devil had an army until the angels fell, now wake up
[Hook 1]
F# B B
I’ll seek you out, flay you alive
D#m F# B B
One more word and you won’t survive
D#m F# B B
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
D#m F# B B
I see right through you any hour
[Verse 2]
D#m F# B
In such a place you either breathe or you suffocate
B
It's such a waste, don't you see what you've done to me, got
D#m F#
Holes in my heart like the holes in my liver
B B
It seems the less she take is the more I give her
D#m F#
So, never the winner, for-ever the stranger
B B
You hate me for what I was, forget the good I do
D#m F#
A strange place where I keep my feelings
B B
Call it Fort Knox with a see through ceiling
D#m F# B
Cause where I stand I don't see the path, I see the past
B
I see the problems that await but I don't seem to act
D#m F#
So nothing's learned, no triumphant return
B B
I never put out the fire, I just watch it all burn, thinking
[Hook 2]
D#m F# B B D#m F# B B
I... Felling any foe with my gaze
D#m F# B B D#m F# B B
I... Steadily emerging with grace
[Verse 3]
D#m F# B
It's time to say goodbye, there ain't no more hellos
B
I set it all on fire, that's how the story goes
D#m F# B
Turn the page, let it fade, watch it decay
B
See the flame, let it rain, watch it be tamed
D#m F#
I see the bandage, I know that you know you damaged
B B
I pray that you feel what I feel and only hope that you panic
D#m F#
The message is in the bottle, the current will help deliver
B B
There is no return to sender, like everything that I give her
D#m F#
I can fill the flask up, but can't get past us
B B
I'm in the storm, stayin' strong, but can't get back up
D#m F#
A sudden change, the wind, will spin his game we're in
B B
But when there's nothing to hold, you'd rather sink then swim, sing it
[Hook 3]
D#m F# B B
Eyes on fire, your spine is ablaze
D#m F# B B
Felling any foe with my gaze
D#m F# B B
And just in time, in the right place
D#m F# B B D#m
Steadily emerging with grace / I...
