Intro: D Bm G  x4 

D      Bm         G            D           Bm          G 
 Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and a pray for light 
      D   Bm         G               D  Bm  G 
And sometimes, the light's no, consolation  

D       Bm    G     D           Bm           G 
Blinded by a memory, afraid of what it might do to me  
         D            Bm          G            D  Bm  G 
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation 

C                          D                                   C 
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door?  the one you find so easy to ignore  
                     G (hold)  
Is that what I was, fighting for?  

D                      C 
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line  
G/B                 G                            D  Dsus4 
Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city  
D                      C 
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line  
G/B                    G                       D    D Bm G x2 
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me 

D         Bm       G            D        Bm           G 
Taught me how to shoot to kill, a specialist with a deadly skill  
   D       Bm         G              D  Bm  G 
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor  
D          Bm    G           D           Bm                  G 
It's over now or so they say, well, sometimes, it don't work out that way 
            D         Bm               G           D  Bm  G 
Cause your never the same when you've been, under fire 

C                          D                                   C 
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door?  the one you find so easy to ignore  
                     G (hold) 
Is that what I was, fighting for?  
D                      C 
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line  
G/B                 G                            D  Dsus4 
Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city  
D                      C 
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line  
G/B                     G                      D 
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
