Em          Em/C                Em/C#
Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
            Em/C                   G
Tell the survivors help is on the way
          D                  Em
I was a blindfold, never complained
            B                     G
All the survivors singing in the rain
          D                        Em
I was the one with the world at my feet
          B                      Em
Got us a battle, leave it up to me

Find us a trap door, find us a plane
Tell the survivors, help is on the way
I was a blind fool, I never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
          B                      G
Got us a battle, leave it up to me

Chorus:
 G                       C
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
               Em
You gave me a life I never chose
                       G
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go - x3

                          C
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
              Em
You gave me a battle I never chose

          D                         Em
I was the one with the world at my feet
          B                      G D
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
               Em B
Leave it up to me
                G
Leave it up to me
