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 .

and act like we love what we really detest .

well maybe i’m blind , just throwing darts in the dark .
C#
i didn’t get what i want , i got what i need .
