[A] [C#] [D]
[F#] I am a dead man!
I'm crawling into a trap!
A horizontal response, I'm laying down for [A] you once again.
[Bm] You've taken with granted!
[F#] I've said goodbye to my friends, I've thrown myself at [A] first into this
[Bm] Closed the curtain and stripped!
[F#m] Myself, lost again!
[A] Our excuses, [B] even less [F#m] concern!
I've got guards, but I enjoy it!
[A] You should use your prisoner, [Bm] before you take your [A] turn!
[F#m] [A] Slain me down in [E] the field, and put me under [F#m] the tree
In the tall grass, where [D] they won't [A] find me
Enjoying silence [E] and peace, until the sirens [F#m] they call back
Screaming, taking [D] me!
[A] I've given all [E] I can do, so don't let [F#] me go backwards!
My ass [A]
[Bm] [F#] is white as black, with my name [A] you're saving!
Where's [Bm] my final life?
[F#m] I left the place from where I was!
When [A] I can see it in my [B] head, embrace my lost [F#m] and true
Let us die, let us stay so pure!
You [A] hear the demons calling, [B] to take back what you [F#m] stole!
[A] Slain me down in [E] the field, and put me under [F#m] the tree
In the tall grass, where they won't [A] find me
Enjoying silence [G#m] and peace, [E] until the sirens [F#m] they call back
Screaming, taking me!
[A] I've lost a piece of [E] myself, and I forgot to [F#m] slow down and just breathe
And it's scaring [A] me, I've given all [E] I can give
So don't let [F#] me go!
I am a territory, I am still going
I am clear,

[G#m] [A] Slain me down in [E] the field, and put me under the tree
[F#m] In the tall grass, where [D] they won't [A] find me

Screaming, taking me!
