Intro - E A


   E                      
If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf, 
          A
you might not understand, but I bet you'd believe 
        E
there's spiders inside, crawling around 
       A                                   E               A
the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out. 

         E
You said I look like a ghost, man I almost was. 
           A
You said I need to let go, quit chasing that buzz,
     E
that picture in time, frozen like ice 
   A                                      E                 A
cycles keep repeating, beating me down to size. 


     F#                                          A
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B                       E
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#               B                 E                    A
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    E
The night is my friend, I blend in with the best: 
    A
The vampires, the crooks, the felons and the rest. 
    E
Now we can pretend that we really care less.
    A                                  E
and act like we love what we really detest. 


          F#                                          A
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B                       E
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#               B                 E 
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    C#              
Make this go away, I'm begging please-- 
        B                     E
there's little life left here for me to bleed. 
   C#                B                F# (hold and/or climb scale)
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 


E
I'm looking up but I'm feeling down, 
      A                                             E        A
since cutting these corners, was cutting me down to size. 

E
Am I losing control or losing my mind? 
  A                                           E              A
I know for a fact I'm losing my last place to hide. 


          F#                                          A
Well maybe I'm blind, just throwing darts in the dark. 
          C#
I didn't get what I want, I got what I need. 
      B                       E
Man, it hurts like hell down here on my knees.
    C#               B                 E
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

    C#            
My pulse is racing, I can't catch my breath.
     B                    E
This near-life experience scared me to death. 
    C#               B                   E                   A
Is this where I end, or is this where we begin? 

A                   E          A          E          
Or is this where we begin?
