(Key of C# minor. 4/4 time.)
Intro SI5 SI5 SI5 SI5
Verse 1:
SI5 SI5
Patience runs out on the junkie,
SI5 SI5
The dark side hires another soul.
SIsus2 SIm SOL/SI MI7/SI
Did he steal his fate or earn it?
MIsus4 MI+5 MI5 MI6
Was he force-fed, did he learn it?
DO DO SI5 SI5
Whatever happened to his precious self-control?
(Same chords as verse 1)
Like him, I'm tired of try'n' to heal
This tom-cat heart with which I'm blessed. Is destruction loving's twin?
Must I choose to lose or win?
DO DO SI5 MI5 MI5
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed.
Verse 2:
LA9 LA/SOL#
These are the horns of the dilemma,
LA LA/SOL#
What truth this proof against all lies?
SI/LA LAsus2 LAm FA/LA
When sacred fails before profane,
D Csus2 | A5 Go |
The wisest man is deemed insane.
DO5 DO MI5 MI5
Even the purest of romantics compromise.
Chorus
DO#m DO#m
What fixation feeds this fever
DO#m DO#m
As the full moon pales and climbs?
DO#m FA#m DO#m LA
Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
DO#m FA#m DO#m LA
Am I the victim or the crime,
DO#m FA#m DO#m LA
Am I the victim or the crime,
DO#m FA#m DO#m
Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?
(Same chords as verse 2)
And so I wrestle with the angel
To see who'll reap the seeds I sow.
Am I the driver or the driven?
Will I be damned to be forgiven?
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know
(Chorus chords)
What it is that feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs?
Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
Am I the victim or the crime,
Am I the victim or the crime,
Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?
SI5
Repeat and fade
