Intro: G5 - A5 - C5 - C5 Verse 1 : G5 A5 Happiness is just a word to me, C5 F5 And it might have meant a thing or two G5 if I had known the difference. G5 A5 Emptiness, a lonely parody, C5 F5 And my life, another smokin? gun G5 A5 A sign of my indifference. Always keepin? safe inside C5 F5 Where no one ever had a chance G5 A5 To penetrate a break in. Let me tell you some have tried, C5 F5 but I slam the door so tight G5 That they could never get in. Verse 2 : G5 A5 Kept my cool under lock and key C5 And I never shed a tear F5 G5 Another sign of my condition. G5 A5 Fear of love or bitter vanity C5 That kept on the run F5 G5 A5 The main of events at my confession. I kept a chain upon my door C5 F5 That would shake the shame of Cain G5 A5 into a blind submission. The burning ghost without a name C5 F5 Was still calling all the same G5 But I just wouldn?t listen. Chorus 1 : G5 The longer I'd stall The further I'd crawl A5 The further I'd crawl The harder I'd fall C5 F5 G5 I was crawlin' into the fire G5 The more that I saw The further I'd fall A5 The further I'd fall The lower I'd crawl C5 F5 G5 I kept fallin' into the fire Bridge : G5 - G5 - A5 - A5 - C5 - F5 - G5 - G5 Verse 3 : A5 B5 Suddenly it occurred to me D5 G5 The reason for the run and hide A5 Had totaled my existance B5 Everything left on the other side D5 G5 Could never be much worse that this A5 But could I go the distance B5 I faced the door and all my shame D5 G5 Tearin' off each piece of chain A5 Until they were broken B5 But no matter how I tried D5 G5 The other side was locked so tight A5 The door it wouldn't open Chorus 2 : Gave it all that I got And started to knock B5 Shouted for someone To open the lock D5 G5 A5 I just gotta get through the door And the more that I knocked The hotter I got B5 The hotter I got The harder I'd knock D5 G5 A5 I just gotta break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 Gotta knock a little harder A5 Break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 Gotta knock a little harder A5 Break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 Gotta knock a little harder A5 Break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 Gotta knock a little harder A5 Break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 Gotta knock a little harder A5 Break through the door A5 Gotta knock a little harder B5 Gotta knock a little harder D5 ver-2 Gotta knock a little harder A5 ver-2 Break down the door
