[Intro]
G    C  Em   x2


G   C    Em        G
Pull the blindfold down
C  Em        G
So your eyes can't see
C         Em           G
Now run as fast as you can
C           Em         G
Through this field of trees


G    C  Em   x2

G   C    Em     G    
Say goodbye to everyone
 C      Em      G
You have ever known
   C   Em         G          C    Em
You are not gonna see them ever again


D       Em          Am
I can't shake this feeling I've got
D        Em            Am
My dirty hands, have I been in the wars?
D          Em            Am
The saddest thing that I'd ever seen
D            Em          Am       C [long]

With our mouths wide shut
C    Em                     G     C Em
'Cause you stopped us from singin'


D       Em          Am

NOTE: I've made this transcription using YouTuber "SteelyToob"'s version and my 
hearing. I couldn't find a satisfying or clear transcription on the internet yet, 
so I thought it was high time for having one. Compatible with this version:
