[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
If I showed my
hand shaking like a leaf,
You might [G]not understand,
but I bet you'd be[D]lieve
This bat is inside, crawling around
The cob[G]webs in my mind that I try
[D]to drown out.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]You said I look like a ghost,
man I almost was.
You said I [G]need to let go,
quit chasing that [D]buzz,
That picture in time, frozen like ice
That [G]girls keep repeating,
beating [D]me down to size.
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well [Em]maybe I'm blind,
just throwing [G]darts in the dark.
I didn't [Bm]get what I want,
I got what I need.
Man, [A]it hurts like hell
down [D]here on my [A]knees.
Is [Bm]this where I end,
[A]or is this where [D]we begin?
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
The night is my friend,
I blend in with the best:
The vam[G]pires, the crooks,
the felons and the [D]rest.
Now we can pretend that
we really care less,
An[G]d act like we love what
we really de[D]test.
[G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Well [Em]maybe I'm blind,
just throwing [G]darts in the dark.
I didn't [Bm]get what I want,
I got what I need.
Man [A]it hurts like hell down [D]here on my knees.
Is [Bm]this where I end,
[A]or is this where [D]we begin?

[Verse 6]
Make [Bm]this go away,
I'm begging please-
There's [A]little life left here [D]for me to bleed.
Is [Bm]this where I end,
[A]or is this where [Em]we begin?

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[D]I'm looking up but I'm feeling down,
Since I'm [G]cutting these corners,
was cutting [D]me down to size.
[G]

[Verse 8]
[D]Am I losing control or losing my mind?
I [G]know for a fact I'm losing my
[D]last place to hide.
[G]

[Verse 9]
[D]
Well [Em]maybe I'm blind,
just throwing [G]darts in the dark.
I didn't [Bm]get what I want,
I got what I need.
Man [A]it hurts like hell
down [D]here on my [A]knees.
Is [Bm]this where I end,
[A]or is this where we begin?
[D]

[Verse 10]
[Bm]My pulse is racing,
I can't catch my breath.
This [A]near-life experience
experience [D]scared me to death.
[A]Is thi[Bm]s where I end,
[A]or is this where [D]we begin?
[G]

[Verse 11]
[G]Or is this [D]where we begin?
