I've got to show you that there's something left inside of this head. Shake me softly, show me that you still care; show me everything that matters and I'll help you repair. (Pre-Chorus) The knowledge, the power, the truth of this final hour. The fallout, we'll crawl out, and we will never cower. (Second Verse) Shake me softly; I need to feel like I'm here. I need to get back to the way I was before they appeared. I can't take this; one more drink from tonight. I feel like everything is slipping right in front of my eyes. Shake me softly; I don't think they are there. Still there's something laughing at us from the top of the stairs. They know me; and I know you. We all know that there's something else that we have to prove. (Pre-Chorus Again) (Chorus) I can feel everything starting to spin. I can feel it change direction; I can feel it caving in. One more wrong breath and you're out of this door. I know I lied about being fine but not anymore. I need this; I need you. (Bridge/Solo Instrumental) The chords here are like this: E E, A, B B B, A (Chorus Again) (Intro Riff Again)
