     F	   G	   A
The devil take me now
   F	   G       A
Before I’m ushered out
       F       G    A
Cause you are like me
    F	    E
But I can bleed

Chorus:
    Dm7	  B7
And I can die
    Dm7      B7	     	F G A
But I can’t hide from you

Prisoners of course
Taken by force
To smother my streams
Tonight in my dreams

Chorus:
'Cause I can die
But I can't hide
The way is clear
Away from here
And you
