D#                                  A#
I heard this line one time about trying to save the world
G#                               D#
Have you ever tried to save yourself?
                            A#
A wide eyed suicide drive remains a fake
            G#                    Gm
As if you'd ever, ever go and make the same mistake
G#
Strung out as the night comes crawling
A#
Your halo of thorns is falling

Chorus:
D#
Blood runs cold
A#               Cm
I feel it in my bones
               G#               A#
But you don't know your time is up
            D#
Blood runs cold

Somebody somewhere is screaming out the words
Do they ever really ease the pain?
I guess what I'm trying to say is whose life is it anyway
Because living, living is the best revenge you can play
This fall from grace, I see your face it's over

Chorus

B
From you love was kind
F#m
Resolved left scarred and blind
A                        B
Wasted and naked in the wings
B
Denying twist of fate
F#m
Demanding heaven's gate
A                        B F#
Lying in wait above the wind

G#
Strung out as the night comes crawling
A#
Your halo of thorns is falling

Chorus

            D#
Blood runs cold
Blood runs cold
