   E (022100@1)                    
If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf, 
          Ayou (x02220@1)might not understand, but I bet you'd believe 
        Ethere's (022100@1)spiders inside, crawling around 
       A (x02220@1)                                 E (022100@1)             Athe (x02220@1)cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out. 

         EYou (022100@1)said I look like a ghost, man I almost was. 
           AYou (x02220@1)said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
     Ethat (022100@1)picture in time, frozen like ice 
   A (x02220@1)                                    E (022100@1)               Acycles (x02220@1)keep repeating, beating me down to size.

          C#I (x43121@1)didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B (x2444x@1)                     EMan, (022100@1)it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C# (x43121@1)             B (x2444x@1)               E (022100@1)                  AIs (x02220@1)this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    EThe (022100@1)night is my friend, I blend in with the best: 
    AThe (x02220@1)vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest. 
    ENow (022100@1)we can pretend that we really care less.
    A (x02220@1)                                Eand (022100@1)act like we love what we really detest.

    C# (x43121@1)            
Make this go away, I'm begging please-- 
        B (x2444x@1)                   Ethere's (022100@1)little life left here for me to bleed.
