Intro - E5 A5


   E5                      
If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf, 
          A5
you might not understand, but I bet you'd believe 
        E5
there's spiders inside, crawling around 
       A5                                   E5               A5
the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out. 

         E5
You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was. 
           A5
You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
     E5
that picture in time, frozen like ice 
   A5                                      E5                 A5
cycles keep repeating, beating me down to size. 


     F#5                                          A5
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#5
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B5                       E5
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#5               B5                 E5                    A5
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    E5
The night is my friend, I blend in with the best: 
    A5
The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest. 
    E5
Now we can pretend that we really care less.
    A5                                  E5
and act like we love what we really detest. 


          F#5                                          A5
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#5
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B5                       E5
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#5               B5                 E5 
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    C#5              
Make this go away, I'm begging please-- 
        B5                     E5
there's little life left here for me to bleed. 
   C#                B                F# (hold and/or climb scale)
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 


E5
I'm looking up but I'm feeling down, 
      A5                                             E5        A5
since cutting these corners, was cutting me down to size. 

E5
Am I losing control or losing my mind? 
  A5                                           E5              A5
I know for a fact I'm losing my last place to hide. 


          F#5                                          A5
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#5
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B5                       E5
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#5               B5                 E5
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    C#5            
My pulse is racing, I can't catch my breath.
     B5                    E5
This near-life experience scared me to death. 
    C#5               B5                   E5                   A5
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

A5                   E5          A5          E5          
Or is this where we begin?
