Ab F#
Tonight I'll have a look
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
And try to find my face again

Buried beneath this house`
C# B7 Ab
My spirit screams and dies again

Out back a monster wears

A cloak of Persian leather

Behind the TV screen
C# B7 Ab
I've fallen to my knees

pretty much all in the post and chorus are downs with a quick up in the middle. sounds
without the ups though.

Ab B C#
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
Ab
I want to- get away
F# C#
I need to- get away
Verse 2:
Ab F#
Blanket of silence
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
F#
Burn all the evidence
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
of fabricated disbelief
F# F#(9) C# B7 Ab
Pull back the curtains took a look into your eyes
F# F#(9) C# B7 Ab
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies

You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
Verse 3:
Ab F#
Deep in the jungle
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
F#
A hand holds up the sky
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
While shamefully I make my plea
F#
The alters callin'
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
But my legs won't seem to stand
F#
Guess I'm a coward
F#(9) C# B7 Ab
Scared to face the man I am
