They Follow

Am Dm C G G#m C#m B B/A#

Bbm                        Gb     Ebm
  I walk with the crowd, alone,
           Db   Ab
Unseen, or am I imagining?
Bbm                   Gb     Ebm
it's easy keep hiding at home
      Db  Ab
Still healing

Bbm                        Gb
I teach myself how to stay calm
Ebm                 Db    Ab
When they wish to behold me
        Bbm                  Ebm
They may, take and divide my time
    Db             Ab
The secret, no one told me...

     Ebm                   Db     Ab
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
Ebm
Bearing the wrong side
   Gb              Ab
Is hard for me sometimes

G#m                       C#m
This need I still can recognize
               B         F#
To swim in the oceans of vanity
G#m                 C#m
Some of us enjoy the rain
    B   F#
and thunder

G#m                        C#m
For me all the shadows are bright
    B               F#
I'm burning in the starlight and I
G#m                    C#m
Hope to feel light as a kite
    B               F#
And fly towards the twilight of my life

     C#m                    B     F#
Like creatures of the night, they follow...
C#m
Bearing the wrong side
   E               F#
Is hard for me sometimes
        G#m
And now they
                     C#m
have disappointed my broken heart
    B                   F#
I'm dancing, they're demanding
    G#m                  C#
The unknown and innocent days are gone
B             F#
Taken without asking

Bm             G
Safe, further away,
          Bm                     F#      G
I'll disappear like a mountain without a trace
            Bm
They tied a knot on my life
        A                     F#
It gets tighter when I try to hide.

G#m  C#m  B  A  G#m  C#m  E  F#

Bm            D           F#      F#m
The face of a newly wedded clown
        G             Bm
Doesn't offer you the high
           D              F#m            G
Now you're lower than the poor souls you feed

Bm
Built the walls out of silence
A
I will not be taken there anymore
Bm
What is wrong with your eyes?
A
Sad for the right reasons?

I'll show you the ashes of life

C#             D
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
                              C#
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
               D
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
                              E
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

E  D  A  E  G  A

Em           D    A    Em
No empathy behind your eyes
Em               G    A      Em
Sleeping like an angel every night

             C
I don't feel Safe,
           Em                   G  B    C
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
            Em
They tied a knot on my life
        D                     B
It gets tighter when I try to hide.

             Em            C
I don't fell safe, further away,
           Em                   G  B    C
Can't disappear without getting my last embrace
              Em
Once the time finally comes
          D                 B
Will they dig me up from my unmarked?
