               F#m                  E
She feels the walls with both hands open
  C#m                  B
Cracked and cold and white
A silent witness to the dying seconds of
a wasted life
A trail of events marches upwards where
the sun shines bright

        F#m            E
And she won’t make it out
     C#m               B
But she will free her heart

F#m E C#m              B
     She will free her heart -  x2

You used to live and breath, for the rage
Until the rage subsides
There′ll be a reckoning and all hell to pay
It's going down in style
Now he′s looking for a strangers arms
In the midnight hour

No he won't
Make it out
He can free his heart
(Ahhhh)
He can free his heart
(Ahhhh)
Lord keep me closer
Closer
Closer, still
Lord keep me closer
Closer
Closer, still
Lord keep me closer
Closer
Closer, still
Lord keep me closer
Closer
Closer, still
(Oooh, ahhhh)
Closer
closer, still
