Tom : D
G D
As the night-time bleeds into the day
Bm A
Tomorrow spills across the sky
G D
And the sun’s a harsh reminder why
Bm A
We are feeling barely human
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
We don’t know what’s good for us
Bm A
Cause if we did, we might not do it
G D
Who knows where our limits lie?
Bm A
We won’t discover ‘til we push it
[Chorus]
G D Bm
I should just walk away, walk away
A
But it grips me, it grips me
G D Bm
But I should call it a day, and make my way
A
Oh, it grips me
G D
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm A
And it pulls me back into the night
G D
But I should just walk away
Bm A
Away, oh it grips me
G D Bm
Cause the devil’s got my arms
[Próxima Parte]
A G D
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm A
And it pulls me back into the night
[Verse 2]
G D
We got drunk on this unholy wine
Bm A
To deliver us from our old minds
G D
A promise of a better time
Bm A
'Til we’re feeling barely human
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 2x]
[Próxima Parte]
Bm A
And it pulls me back into the night
[Bridge]
G D
I would rather forget
Bm A
And wash my memory clean
G D
Oh, I would rather forget
Bm A
And wash my memory clean
G D
I would rather forget (I would rather forget)
Bm A
Wash my memory clean (Wash my memory clean)
G D
I would rather forget (I would rather forget)
Bm A
Wash my memory clean
[Chorus]
G D
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm A
And it pulls me back into the night
G D Bm
Cause the devil’s got my arms
A G D
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm A G D
And it pulls me back into the night
Bm A
And it pulls me back into the night
