Bm Things crawl in the darkness G A Bm G A That imagination spins Bm Needles at your nerve ends G A Bm G A Crawl like spiders on your skin Bm Pou-Pou-Pou-Pounding in your temples G A Bm G A And a surge of adrenaline Bm G A Bm G A Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within Chorus: Bm D I'm not giving in to security under pressure A I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure Bm D I'm not giving up on implausible dreams A Experience to extremes Bm G A Bm G A Bm G A Bm G A Experience to extremes Suspicious looking stranger Flashes you a dangerous grin Shadows across your window Was it only trees in the wind? Every breath a static charge A tongue that tastes like tin Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within Chorus Bm D6 To you, is it movement or is it action? Em9 D/A Is it contact or just reaction? Bm D6 And you, revolution or just resistance? Em9 D/A Is it living, or just existence? Bm D6 Yeah, you, it takes a little more persistence Em9 D/A To get up and go the distance Chorus: I'm not giving in, I'm not missing out I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes I'm not giving in to security under pressure I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure I'm not giving up on implausible dreams Experience to extremes, experience to extremes You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  D6  Em  Em9  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
