this song is fingerpicked using the chords below . you can simply strum the chords ,
or use whichever fingers you like to hit the strings – i use my thumb for hitting
bass notes , and my index &middle finger for plucking higher strings!

verse 1 :
C/G
think i’ve had enough . . i must find my way , i’m falling off the
F – G –
edge to find that i’ve gone blind you’re
C/G –
leading me astray . . you haunt me like A
G – F –
ghost , and that scares me the most

chorus :
Am B ( bass note only )
there you are the
C
devil on my shoulder
Am B ( bass note only )
smiling as the
C
flames are growing colder
F G C
how can i believe in what i have?
F G Am –
for a little confidence ill grab
Am – B ( bass ) – C – G – F
but when my hand goes out dont take it
G
for im trying to make it
C/G
on my own

verse 2
C/G
i feel it in my bones
any minute now

this train of thought will leave the station
G
my impatience ,
C/G
will come out to play
G F
youve turned out to be , the only face i see

( chorus )

bridge :
Am – B ( bass ) – C
oooooooooooooooown
Am – B ( bass ) – C
running through the empty hallways i can tell that i Am not alone
Am – B ( bass ) – C
you spin a web in every room and try to break the backbone that ive grown
Am E ( bass note only , simply pluck lowest string )
will i make my own path , or wander where im
F
thrown
Am E ( bass ) F
will i make my own path , or wander where i’m thrown
