F#m7(b5) Am9
Keep you in the dark
F7M F#m7(b5)
You know they all pretend
Am9
Keep you in the dark
F7M F#m7(b5)
And so it all began
Primeira Parte:
Am
Send in your skeletons

Sing as their bones go marching in

Am
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are
F9 ( F5 G5 )
F#m5+
Ever ready, are you ready?
Am
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
F9 ( F5 G5 )
F#m5+
That whole defense
Am
Spinning infinity
Boy, the wheel is spinning me
F9 ( F5 G5 )
F#m5+
It's never ending, never ending
(Riff 1)
Same old story
Riff 1:
Primeiro Refrão:
[Refrão]
Am
What if I say
I'm not like the others?
What if I say
F#m7(b5)
I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
F7M
What if I say that
[Próxima Parte]
I will never surrender?
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
I will never surrender?
A5
Segunda Parte:
Am
In time, or so I'm told
F#m5+
I'm just another soul for sale
F9 ( F5 G5 )
Oh, well
Am
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
F9 ( F5 G5 )
F#m5+
We're temporary, temporary
(Riff 1)
Same old story
Segundo Refrão:
[Refrão] (repetir)

Ponte:
A5
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirrorin' your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees
So, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Am9 F#m7(b5)
Keep you in the dark, you know they all
F7M

So, who are you? Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
