Em             Bsus4 B
I have lived in darkness
    C                      F#7
For all my life, I've been pursued
Am                           Em
You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain
                  D                          Am
And if you could see the things I am able to see

Chorus:
 Em             D
Break me out, break me out
Am
Let me flee
 Em             D
Break me out, break me out
Am
Set me free

I hail from the dark side
For all my life, I've been besieged
You'd be scared living with my despair
And if you could feel the things I am able to feel

Chorus:
Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free

Break me out, break me out
Let me flee
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
Save me from the dark side
Break me out, break me out
Set me free
