Bm-x24432 A-x02200 E-222100 D5-xx023x E5-xx245x G5-555xxx A5-777xxx Verse 1: Main riff For so long my life's been sewn up tight Main riff Inside your hold And it leaves me there without a place To call my own

^BmI know now what ^Ashadows can ^Esee ^BmThere's no point in running 'less you ^Arun with ^Eme ^BmIt's half the distance through the ^Aopen d^Eoor ^G5Before you cut me down ^A5Again...........Let me introduce you to the end

(main riff 2x) Electric guitar: E5--G5--E5--G5 Verse 2:----same chords/riffs as verse 1 And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings It always leads me back to suffering But I will soar until the wind whips me down Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again So tired now of paying my dues I start out strong but then I always lose It's half the distance before you leave me behind It's such a waste of time Chorus:

^E5'Cause my shackles ^G5You won't be ^E5And my rapture ^G5You won't believe ^E5And deep ^G5inside you will blee^E5d for me ^G5

Verse 3:----Same as 1 and 2, only the electric guitar plays these power chords...

^E5So here I s^G5lave inside of a ^E5broken dream ^G5Forever holding on to splitting seems ^E5So take your p^G5iece and leave me ^E5alone to die ^G5I don't need you to keep my faith alive

I know now what trouble can be And why it follows me so easily It's half the distance through the open door Before you cut me down Again............Let me introduce you to the end Chorus Instrumental: E5----(for quite a while) Solo (I didn't tab it) Bridge-thing:

^E5Though you ^D5know you care Chorus

(This part same as chorus) And my laughter You won't hear The faster I disappear And time will burn your eyes (to tears) E5-----(for quite a while) Also another solo which I didn't tab
