Intro: A Asus2 (3x) 

A                            Bm 
 Some things you do just to see 
    D                        A Asus2 
how bad they'll make you feel. 
A                          Bm 
 Sometimes you try to freeze time 
                         D              A          Asus2 
til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels. 
    A         Bm 
But I am just a broken machine, 
      F#m            D               E 
and I do things that I don't really mean. 

           A 
Long black night, 
        C#m 
Morning frost. 
          F#m 
I'm still here, 
           D   
But all is lost. 

A Asus2 

A                        Bm 
 Speed up to the precipice, 
    D                     A Asus2 
And then slam on the brakes. 
A                             Bm 
 Some people crash two or three times, 
         D                       A Asus2 
And then learn from their mistakes. 
A                      Bm 
 But we are the ones who don't slow down at all, 
           F#m            D              E 
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall. 

           A 
Long black night, 
        C#m 
Morning frost. 
          F#m 
I'm still here, 
           D  E   
But all is lost. 

         F#m            D                 A 
Feel the storm every night, hope it passes by. 
E                     F#m       D               A Asus2 
  Hallucinate the shady grove where Judas went to die. 

A                      Bm 
 Unfurl the black velvet alter cloth, 
       D                  A Asus2 
Draw a white chalk Baphomet. 
A                       Bm 
 Mistreat your alter boys long enough, 
    D                  A Asus2 
And this is what you get.  
A                   Bm 
 Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave. 
F#m                        D             E 
 Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave. 

           A 
Long black night, 
        C#m 
Morning frost. 
          F#m 
I'm still here, 
           D   
But all is lost. 

A Asus2 (4x)
