G#m G#sus2 G   G#m G#sus2 G
 
      G#m           G#sus2
I'm a doorman at my Death Row
    G
You faceless foe of heart
   G#m               G#sus2           G
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
G
White feather in the tar...
  G#m               G#sus2
A tearstain on your frozen face...
G
 A life - in black and white
 
 
[VERSE I]
G#m  E              F#sus F#
 You slaughtered my soul again
C#m       A          Bsus       B        G#m
 Tried my best to be worth your two realities
       E           F#sus  F#
You're breaking my heart again
C#m A             Bsus     B           A
 To squeeze out a rhyme, I bid you farewell
AM7                    F#m               B
 Stupidity, ignorance, lights on for the blind
 
 
[CHORUS]
    C#m            F#sus    F#
Now I will hit you where it hurts
A            B          E
Take what is rightfully mine
  B/D#   C#m
I need a sign
                  F#sus    F#
That you're worth fighting for
A          B        E
Winning or losing, alone
     B/D#   G#m
I am only a pawn
 
 
[VERSE II]
G#m  E        F#sus    F#
 I'm tired of pleasing you
C#m A            Bsus       B/D#         G#m
 Discolored this emptiness, wrapped in a scheme
E   Bsus        B
I... delayed my dreams to see
G#m  E            Bsus      B/D#            A
 Who blinded your eyes from things that are real...
            C#m                         A
For me, I believe in the taste of bittersweet
                        Bsus      B
Dying fountains full of stories untold
        A                                C#m
After a history of "losses" attained the victory where it occurred
        Bsus            B                  G#sus     G#/B#
Lips so cold, the final testing ground for beautiful words
 
[BRIDGE]
C#m                            G#m               G#m/B    G#/B#
Diving in the seas of sin, without knowing where lies the bottom
C#m                           G#sus        G#         A
Idle moments spawned you idle people, no morality, no soul
              B
Sabotage or a fatal mistake?
G#m               A
Scandal born, new race
             B
Unauthorized use, not stealing?
G#m                               Bm
We've no rights, just passion and rage

The tearstains on my frozen face
