Tonight I'll have a look
(9)
And try to find my face again
(9)
Buried beneath this house'
My spirit cries and dies again
(9)
Out back a monster wheres
A cloak of persian leather
(9)
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees
Pre Chorus:
(All chords in the pre chorus and chorus are down strokes, with a quick up in between
switching chords. You can here the rthymn in the song)
I said you've got me where you want me
And dammit I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool
I'm stuck here in between the shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away
I need to get away
Now you know
Yeah, you got my back against the wall
Oh gosh, I aint got no other place to hide
chained down, like a sitting duck
Just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah you got my back against the wall
x 1/2
Blanket of silence
(9)
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence
(9)
A fabricated disbelief
(9)
Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
(9)
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
Pre Chorus
Solo (I haven't tabbed this and I'm not sure what scale it's in, so I'll find out
and if someone tabs it or if i work it out I'll put it up as well =)
(End however you like, probably on the with a down stroke.)
