 G#            F#         
  Tonight I'll have a look

 And try to find my face again

 Buried beneath this house`
    C#      B        G#        
 My spirit cries and dies again
 F#         F#(9)         
 Out back a monster wheres
    C#       B         G#  
 A cloak of persian leather
 F#         F#(9)    
 Behind the TV screen
 C#          B        G# 
 I've fallen to my knees

 And dammit I can't turn away
     G#                      F#                C#  
 I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
     G#                        B(7)          C#       
 I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday

 I need to get away

 chained down, like a sitting duck

 Just waiting for the fall

 You know, yeah you got my back against the wall

 Intro x 1/2

  Blanket of silence

 makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
          F#          
 Burn all the evidence
   F#(9)  C#    B     G# 
 A fabricated disbelief
 F#            F#(9)      C#        B         G#  
 Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
  F#           F#(9)        C#           B      G# 
 My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
