D F# G I'm serving time Bm A D F# All for a crime I did commit G You want the truth? Bm A D F# You know I'd do it all again G Left for dead Bm A G A G A G A Heaven is only in my head! I heard a voice Calling from down inside a well "See that silver shine?" She said to come claim what was mine So down I fell Down into the water black My prison cell Only the moon was shining back! (Was shining back) Chorus: F# Bm F# Bm If I seem lost, well I weighted the cost G A And chose my crime D Now it's mine all mine! I heard the voice Calling from just outside the well She said "You fool Now that you know your end is near; You always fall For what you desire or what you fear!" (What you fear) Resurrected, living in a lighthouse, If you leave, them ships are going to wreck Resurrected, living in a lighthouse, The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet Resurrected, living in a lighthouse, Can you see the funny side? The ships are going to wreck Resurrected, living in a lighthouse, The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet (Sleeping yet) (Sleeping yet) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  F#  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
