G                    D
The city crouches, steaming
       E/G#                E
In the early morning half-light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat

F#
Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat

Chorus:
E             C     D                 G
Sometimes I freeze - until the light comes
Sometimes I fly - into the night
Sometimes I fight - against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong - sometimes I'm right

D
Coiled for the spring
                                 F#m
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
        A
Into a desperate panic
      G                   D F#m
Or a tempest of blind fury
        A
Like a cornered beast
      G
Or a conquering hero

The menace threatens, closing
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight

I can stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright

Chorus:
Sometimes we freeze - until the light comes
Sometimes we're wrong - and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight - against the darkness
Sometimes we fly - into the night

Blood running cold
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night
