Intro 
A   F#m  D



Sometimes in my bed at night 
I curse the dark and a pray for light 
And sometimes, the light's no consolation 

A  F#m         D
Blinded by a memory 
Afraid of what it might do to me 
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation


G                                  A
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door 
                    G
The one you find so easy to ignore 
                     D  
Is that what I was fighting for? 

A
Walking on a thin line 
G
Straight off the front line 
D                                              A
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city 
A
Walking on a thin line 
G
Straight off the front line 
D                                          A
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me

Taught me how to shoot to kill 
A specialist with a deadly skill 
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor 
It's over now or so they say 
Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way 
Cause your never the same when you've been under fire

Don't you know me I'm the boy next door 
The one you find so easy to ignore 
Is that what I was fighting for? 
Walking on a thin line 
Straight off the front line 
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city 
Walking on a thin line 
Straight off the front line 
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
