I shield you from this life
[ E flat]
Your heart is kept on ice
       [ E ]                [ E flat]
I'll file you where I need
[ E flat]
And keep you from the heat
       [ E ]                  [ E flat]

Running, running away
[ F# ]                   [ E flat]

You hold me in contempt
[ E flat]
Forever will I depend?
    [ E ]               [ E flat]
You'll file me where you need
[ E flat]
But never kept me from the heat
      [ E ]                             [ E flat] 

Falling, falling away
(I'll serve you, I'll serve you well)
[ F# ]             [ E flat]
On the surface, on the surface

It's always cold in hell
[ E flat]
I have felt it
          [ E ]
I can tell
[ E flat]

They file you where they need
[ E flat]

In ice water there is no heat
    [ E ]                          [ E flat]

Burning, burning away
[ F# ]                  [ E flat]
(I'll serve you, I'll serve you well)
On the surface, on the surface

BRIDGE:
E , Ab , E , Ab , F#
E , Ab , E , Ab (straight into chorus)

Burning, burning away
[ F# ]                  [ E flat]
Burning, burning away
[ F# ]                  [ E flat]

Outro is just E flat.
