       C#          G#
Well I crossed the river
       C#     G#
Fell into the sea
          C#    G#
Where the non-believers
     C#     G#
Go beyond belief
         C#           G#
Then I scratched the surface
        C#       G#
In the mouth of Hell
         C#     G#
Running out of service
        C#      G#
In the blood I fell

Chorus:
     C#        F#      C#      G#   C# G#
Well I, I just want to see the light
    C#         F#      C#      G#   C# G#
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
     C#        F#      C#      G#   C# G#
Well I, I just want to see the light
    C#         F#          C#        D#
And I need to know what's worth the fight

Well I've been wasted,
Pills and alcohol
And I've been chasing
Down the pool halls
Then I drank the water
From a hurricane
And I set a fire
Just to see the flame

Chorus

Well I crossed the desert,
Reaching higher ground
Then I pound the pavement
To take the liars down
But it's gone forever,
But never too late
Where the ever after
Is in the hands of fate

Chorus
