[ A ] [ A9 ] x3

[ A ]                            [ Bm ]
 Some things you do just to see
    [ D ]                        [ A ] [ A9 ]
how bad they'll make you feel.
[ A ]                          [ Bm ]
 Sometimes you try to freeze time
                         [ D ]              [ A ]          [ A9 ]
til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels.
    [ A ]         [ Bm ]
But I am just a broken machine,
      [ F#m ]            [ D ]               [ E ]
and I do things that I don't really mean.

           [ A ]
Long black night,
        [ C#m ]
Morning frost.
          [ F#m ]
I'm still here,
           [ D ]  
But all is lost.

[ A ] [ A9 ]

[ A ]                        [ Bm ]
 Speed up to the precipice,
    [ D ]                     [ A ] [ A9 ]
And then slam on the brakes.
[ A ]                             [ Bm ]
 Some people crash two or three times,
         [ D ]                       [ A ] [ A9 ]
And then learn from their mistakes.
[ A ]                      [ Bm ]
 But we are the ones who don't slow down at all,
           [ F#m ]            [ D ]              [ E ]
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.

           [ A ]
Long black night,
        [ C#m ]
Morning frost.
          [ F#m ]
I'm still here,
           [ D ]  [ E ]  
But all is lost.

         [ F#m ]            [ D ]                 [ A ]
Feel the storm every night, hope it passes by.
[ E ]                     [ F#m ]       [ D ]               [ A ] [ A9 ]
  Hallucinate the shady grove where Judas went to die.

[ A ]                      [ Bm ]
 Unfurl the black velvet alter cloth,
       [ D ]                  [ A ] [ A9 ]
Draw a white chalk Baphomet.
[ A ]                       [ Bm ]
 Mistreat your alter boys long enough,
    [ D ]                  [ A ] [ A9 ]
And this is what you get. 
[ A ]                   [ Bm ]
 Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave.
[ F#m ]                        [ D ]             [ E ]
 Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave.

           [ A ]
Long black night,
        [ C#m ]
Morning frost.
          [ F#m ]
I'm still here,
           [ D ]  
But all is lost.
