         D#
When the days are cold,
         A#
And the cards all fold,
         Cm
And the saints we see
         G#
Are all made of gold,
            D#
When your dreams all fail,
        A#
And the ones we hail
         Cm
Are the worst of all,
          G#
And the blood's run stale,

D#                   A#
  I wanna hide the truth;
                Cm
I wanna shelter you.
                      G#
But with the beast inside,
                        D#
There’s nowhere we can hide.
                    A#
No matter what we breed,
                       Cm
We still are made of greed.
                    G#
This is my kingdom come.
                    D#
This is my kingdom come.


   D#                  A#
     When you feel my heat,
                  Cm
     Look into my eyes;
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.
                     A#
     Don’t get too close;
                  Cm
     It’s dark inside.
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.

         D#
At the curtain’s call,
          A#
It’s the last of all.
          Cm
When the lights fade out,
         G#
All the sinners crawl.
         D#
So they dug your grave,
         A#
And the masquerade
      Cm
Will come calling out
        G#
At the mess you’ve made.

D#                     A#
  Don’t wanna let you down,
               Cm
But I am hell bound.
                        G#
Though this is all for you,
                         D#
Don’t want to hide the truth.
                    A#
No matter what we breed,
                       Cm
We still are made of greed.
                    G#
This is my kingdom come.
                    D#
This is my kingdom come.


   D#                  A#
     When you feel my heat,
                  Cm
     Look into my eyes;
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.
                     A#
     Don’t get too close;
                  Cm
     It’s dark inside.
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.

D#                      A#
They say it's what you make;
                  Cm
I say it's up to fate.
                  G#
It's woven in my soul;
                   D#
I need to let you go
                           A#
Your eyes, they shine so bright;
                   Cm
I wanna save that light.
                     G#
I can't escape this now,
                    D#
Unless you show me how.


   D#                  A#
     When you feel my heat,
                  Cm
     Look into my eyes;
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.
                     A#
     Don’t get too close;
                  Cm
     It’s dark inside.
                           G#
     It’s where my demons hide,
                           D#
     It’s where my demons hide.
