Am Em E F Gm Am

[Verse 1]
Hm Em
I live behind mirrors within a prison without any bars
A C F C F
Yet I remain lost to the world
E
In hell I’m suspended within a prism
Cm Am C Dm Am F
So-ooo many walls, so many years
Am C F
Too often I’ve watched them die
[Chorus]
D Em C
Images of yesterday feeling so far away
F C G Em
I can’t let go of the past, the years, the sweet romance
Am Dm C
I am a ticking time bomb waiting in a trance
F C Am
I need you more tonight than you will ever know
Dm C Em
I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance
[Verse 2]
Em
The hell of being trapped is simply not a match for death
A Em C F
Heaven awaits

Now I know not to be afraid of the end

My love awaits, will you be there?

Take me away (I’m ready, I’ll be home soon)

I’d choke prophets, hang angels, burn children
Bb A Bb C
oh, I’d drink oceans, eat the moon, flood the world, end everything
A E F
breathe in, breathe out
Am Em F
we could run far away but then how would we sleep at night?
Am Em F
I’ve been looking for the words to say our last goodbyes
Am Em F Dm F
Hold on to fleeting hopes that I just might survive

Give in to the pleasure
