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
